The Parks Foundation is a charity which delivers community projects and events in our Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole parks and green spaces.

During term time, half terms and school holidays there are multiple nature based activities for children to enjoy and the best bit is that most events are FREE!  Lots of the green spaces mentioned below have play parks too so you could pack a picnic and make use of the facilities for an affordable day out.

During July and August, children will be able to enjoy nature crafts, summer science, bee and bug hotel building, nature tots sessions, fun days, community littler picks, nocturnal nature and bat walks, bug hunts and much more.

For a list of locations, dates and times, please see below.  (More August events to be added when confirmed).
