Poole Park has for many years, since it was opened in 1890, been at the
heart of the Town of Poole. From it's earliest days to today, it has been
a peoples park.
It is as popular with families today as it ever was. Opened in 1890 by the
Prince Of Wales, it was constructed on land donated by the then Lord Wimborne.
In Poole Park you will find that there is something for all the family.
One of the most popular activities with the younger visitors is feeding
the ducks and swans, on Swan Lake. There is also the miniature
railway which winds it's way around Swan Lake, again very popular with
the children and fathers ! By the lake you will find Gus Gorilla's Jungle
Playground, an extraordinary adventure playground for children, where you
can try the spiral slide,rush down tube slides or have a ball in the huge
ball pool. For parents there is a restaurant, where if the sun is shining
you can relax on the patio safe in the knowledge your children are having
fun and are safe !
For the older members of your family there are other special attraction, you can watch cricket matches or watch the model racing yachts. If you are interested in flowers, you can just stroll around the park enjoying the atmosphere of the Rose garden or just admiring the formal flower beds. There is a bowling green, where you can sit and watch a match or if you fancy golf you can try your hand a crazy golf or mini pitch and putt. There is a large play area for children with all the usual slides and swings etc, all in a safe area. If you are feeling energetic you could always hire one of the tennis courts for a game !
