Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole Council, GB Pilot Parks

In Progress

Three Pilot Parks provide laboratories for experimentation by council leaders and residents. The council hired two Park Activators to recruit volunteers and organize community events in the parks. Volunteer groups will create habitats for local wildlife and maintain green spaces for the public. Planned initiatives include a revitalized cafe at the Winton Recreation Ground, community gardens, and a Nature Tots education program.
