Overview
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 Sahara desert themed paddling pool is for children aged up to 8 years. It is currently open seven days a week (11am - 5pm) until 5pm on Sunday 7 September 2025.
