our projects

We're proud to support local projects across Bournemouth's parks, and open spaces. Take a look at some of the exciting projects we're doing.

Rebuilding Bournemouth’s aviary

Pine Walk, in Westover Gardens leads to Bournemouth’s aviary. We’re fundraising to rebuild the rescue aviary and give more flight space to the birds.

Live streaming wildlife cameras

Watch our live streaming of wildlife cameras from Hengistbury Head. Depending on the season this may feature herons, kestrels and blue tits.

PARKS IN MIND – VOLUNTEERING PROJECT

We’ve created volunteering opportunities to improve people’s mental/physical health and reduce social isolation through participating in parks activities.

Winton Park Cafe – community cafe

We’ve opened a community cafe at Winton Rec, where our customers can enjoy a cuppa knowing the profits will be reinvested back into their local park.

Park Yoga 2020 – postponed

Due to the current Covid 19 pandemic Park Yoga 2020 is on hold. We’ll let you know as soon as we can start delivering it in Bournemouth Gardens and the Stour Valley.

DOGGIE DRINKING FOUNTAINS

We’re looking to install pet friendly drinking fountains across the town. The first one was installed at Hengistbury Head, with others going in across Bournemouth’s parks, and more to come very soon.

Help us do more for nature

Our parks have been a lifeline for us over the past few months and have provided us with places to relax, socialise, play and exercise. Donate today to support our parks.

STOUR VALLEY SCULPTURE TRAIL

This ambitious project will link the coastline at Hengistbury Head for 12 miles along the river Stour to the north of Bournemouth with a lovely and exciting arts and sculpture trail.
