Pencester Gardens are located in the town centre and first opened in 1924.

The Gardens are bordered to the north and north-east by the River Dour and to the south-west by a children's play area (including a popular bicycle/bike 'adventure training area'). To the south-east lies Stembrook and Castle Street. To the north-west is Pencester Road itself which was laid out in 1860.

Pencester Gardens hosts Fairs and other events throughout the year. It now contains a 'Millenium Pavilion' and a Timeline path recording the history of Dover engraved in flagstones.
