Parks and open spaces
Ipswich's beautiful parks are an important part of the town's heritage. Residents and visitors can access more than 500 hectares of green space and wildlife habitats all across the town.
The main parks in Ipswich are:
- Alexandra Park;
- Bourne Park;
- Chantry Park;
- Christchurch Park;
- Gippeswyk Park;
- Holywells Park;
- Landseer Park;
- Orwell Country Park.
Some of our historic parks, such as Chantry, Christchurch and Holywells, are registered parks of national importance but even our smaller parks, such as Alexandra, Bourne, Gippeswyk and Stone Lodge, are significant green spaces and of local historical interest.
You can see the locations of all our parks and open spaces on our PDF map:
In addition to the Council-managed parks and allotments, the Town & Bridge Project run the People's Community Garden which is located at Maidenhall allotment. This Garden is a resource for all the community and everyone is welcome to get involved. Further information is available on their website: www.townandbridge.org.uk/garden.
