The People’s Park
110 acres of open parkland, beautiful gardens, quiet spaces, play areas, tennis courts, cafés, lakes and a large saline lagoon. Bordering Poole Harbour and the Old Town, Poole Park is a much-loved family-friendly open space that retains it’s original Victorian plan, many original features and is registered by Historic England for its special historic interest.
Following the award of a £2.7 million National Lottery Heritage Fund grant in 2017, the Park has undergone an extensive range of improvements to conserve it’s unique features and to secure its enduring viability and appeal for future generations.
