Boscombe Chine Gardens

I love Boscombe Chine Gardens. The most peaceful walk - many trails. And a car park up top with a beautiful trail leading down to the gardens. There is also a playground for the children and a basketball court. There is mini golf and a cafe. The bus stops right outside the entrance and you can walk through and come straight out to Boscombe Pier. There is fun fyi info on the trail about the creatures that inhabit the place as well. The trees are talllll and everything is well looked after - very well cared for.

Beautiful ca. 15mn walk through from the main road to Boscombe Beach and Boscombe Pier. Childrens play area, café, lovely trees and plants. It's a well kept secret

Boscombe Chine Gardens were developed originally from a ‘chine’ of heath and mire into a splendid Victorian garden, a central part of the then thriving Boscombe resort. These gardens offer a lovely mix of scenery and activities with formal flower beds, large grassy areas for recreation, mini golf and a water-themed playground. Squirrel Cafe and mini golf is owned and operated by BCP council. Having a cuppa here, or a game of crazy golf (or both!) supports your local parks and open spaces. We have recently opened our upstairs cafe, here you can purchase hot and cold drinks, freshly baked cakes and daily specials. The Chine has been opened up by the removal of much of the tree canopy and native grasses have been sown to improve the habitat quality of the site. Where there was an underused tennis court, is a popular ball court and on the site of the old boating pond is a water play area. The Boscombe mini-golf has been re-launched with disabled access and the Clock House Cafe overlooks it all! The original features of the Gardens remain, two spa shelters, the lodge and the return of magnificent bedding displays.

We a.lways walk through here on our way to Boscombe. Our grand children love the playground

A nice walk to the sea. ⛱️ 😎 Boscombe Chine Gardens are beautiful gardens dating back to the 1880s. They were originally developed from a 'chine' of heath and marsh into a stunning Victorian garden, a central part of the Boscombe resort. There are so many creatively designed elegant figures from bushes and flowers, such as butterflies, trains and others. There is a water play area for children, courts for sports and a café terrace where the locals love to come and relax. Holders of the Green Flag award since 2007, these gardens are also recognized as Bournemouth's tenth local nature reserve and winners of Best Park in Southern England. The garden extends to the seafront. Central chine garden just outside Bournemouth city center in Boscombe. 🌱⛵🐚
