[1] View Island forms part of a series of riverside open spaces, managed by Reading Borough Council, that stretch along one or other side of the River Thames throughout its passage through Reading.

It is set out as a small park containing several wooden chain-saw carved sculptures, although all but one having rotted away.

[5] In 2021, the new Reading Hydro community owned hydro-electric power plant opened at the upstream end of the island.

At the same time a new and more natural fish pass stream was constructed, snaking through View Island.
