Known locally as Sandy Banks due to the underlying Thanet Beds, Rede Common was formerly farmland used for grazing, arable and market gardening and is now an area of open acid grasslands surrounded by scrub and trees.[3][1]

Access points include entrances in Watling Street, Hyacinth Road and Columbine Close.[5]

The Strood Community Trail passes through Rede Common.[6][7]
