Bourne Park is a great open space with a play area and paddling pool. With a beach theme, the play area features a pirate ship and sand castle multiclimb frame, whale and penguin rocks and a boat rocker. The surface is designed to look like the sea, with fish, crabs and a 3D shark.

The equipment is designed for disabled users with a roundabout suitable for wheelchairs and disabled swings.

The enclosed play area is for children aged up to 12 years.

There is also a picnic area with several wheelchair accessible picnic tables.

The paddling pool is now closed for the winter. It will reopen in spring 2025.
