Queen's Park, Bournemouth, Public park in Bournemouth, England.
Queen's Park is a large green space in Bournemouth that includes wooded sections, open grassland, and an 18-hole golf course set within the urban area. The layout combines these different features into one interconnected recreational space for walking, playing, and relaxing.
In 1902 local authorities renamed the former common land to Queen's Park to commemorate the coronation of King Edward VII. This change marked the beginning of the site's formal use as a named public recreational space for the community.
The Queens Park Improvement and Protection Society organizes regular community events and maintains the space for residents and visitors throughout the year.
The park has a licensed café with a bar, free parking areas, children's play facilities, and public restrooms available to visitors. These amenities make it convenient for families and groups spending time outdoors throughout the day.
Money earned by the café goes directly back into improving and maintaining the park's grounds and facilities. This setup shows how a business operating within the space helps keep it in good shape for everyone.
