About Folkestone Parks and Pleasure Grounds Charity
Folkestone & Hythe District Council is Trustee for a number of areas of land in and around the town, looked after by the Folkestone Parks and Pleasure Grounds Charity. The Council took over the role as Trustee from the Borough of Folkestone in 1974 following local government re-organisation.
The land looked after by the Charity specifically provides park, pleasure ground or recreation ground for the "use and enjoyment of the inhabitants of the town and its neighbourhood." The Charity's expenditure (the difference between what it costs to maintain the parks and pleasure grounds and the income from fees, charges and rents) is met by the Council, as Trustee. This is treated as a special expense and is levied through council tax on areas covered by the former Borough of Folkestone (Folkestone and Sandgate).
