The Ogden Promenade Restoration to mark the 150th anniversary of Ogden Water was completed in September 2007. The proposal was worded:
"In days gone by the Promenade, as it was then known, was used by the people of Halifax, as a place to take the air. Ladies and gentlemen would walk on either side of the promenade and occasionally pass the time of day. Many a relationship started in this manner. The promenade had big wrought iron gates at either end of the dam, and three gas lamps along its length. It is proposed to reinstall the gas lamps, though not gas powered, and place Victorian type bench seating with occasional planters. This will be done on the one lower side of the promenade, so as not to impede vehicular traffic provided by Yorkshire Water or the Calderdale Council. The reservoir dam path will be renamed the Promenade. It is also proposed to remove the farm type gates installed by the Council and replace with wrought iron gates more in keeping with the period. We hope to create a safe secure and comfortable place where people will relax take in both the scenery and the air. The location commands one of the best views of the estate and is one of the most accessible, with easy access for both wheelchair users, and people with limited mobility. With the footfalls of millions of visitors having crossed the Ogden dam since it was completed, a 150th anniversary celebration is a fitting tribute to the contribution Ogden has made to the local area."
