I love the Bourrnmouth Gardens on a nice sunny day grab a deckchair by the bandstand and listen to the live instrumnetall band playing whilst tucking into a Ice cream. They also have artists selling their paintings near by and also a big aviary where there is also refreshments available so you can sit down and relax. Also look out for the squirels as they are very friendly and will pop up and say hello to you whislt you are sitting on one of the benches, so watch your food.. Crazy golf also available in the gardens. Also sponsered by Bournemouth football club is the big air balloon ride that takes you up on the spot so you can see all the scenery of Bournemouth. read more

Bourenmouth Garden is a vibrant place with lots of activities going on particularly in the summer time. Firework dsiplay is one of many activities that should not be missed in the summer weekends. Tennis playing in a beautiful leavy environment is a wonderful experience. The whole area is properly maintained with lots of beautiful decidous shrubs and tress full of colourful blossom throughout spring and autumn. Those who enjoy painting and sketching pictureque garden scenes would not miss this place too. Recently parking charges have been introduced and that has really spoiled the principles of freedom for the less advantageous people when they want to bring their children out to this place especially when many people have lost their jobs and incomes. It is a shame to charge people when they really need a free and healthy family leisure time with their kids. read more

GORGEOUS! The gardens are beautiful year-round, in the summer it's vibrant and colourful with lots of pretty flower beds and luscious greens that people can have picnics on or lets their dogs play around. There's a little stream running through which is so picturesque, and it's safe for little ones as it's got a fence. The bird aviary at the top of the gardens is a very interesting feature and the birdsong is so pretty. To the East side of the gardens the path leads up to the beach, and you can seamlessly stroll from the beautiful gardens to the iconic Bournemouth ferris wheel and beach. During the Christmas period, the gardens have their very own winter wonderland with loads and loads of stunning illuminated Christmas trees! Overall, the gardens here in Bournemouth are so wonderful and gorgeous, 10/10!! read more

Essentially Bournemouth Gardens are split into three sections, Upper, Middle and Lower depending how close you are to the sea. When you've had a busy day's shopping or you just need somewhere to relax or sit in the sun I often go here to eat my lunch as it runs through the town centre. With beautifual scenary throughout the year and a bubbling stream in the centre it is a quiet haven in a busy town. Other amenities include crazy golf, tennis courts and the balloon ride, it is the natural scenery that make it for me. read more

i love the gardens, they are the perfect place to unwind in the summer or walk around during the winter and absorb the natural beauty, a perfect way to get in the christmas spirit. There is lots of little food stores situated around, there is also the bournemouth eye- a big hot air balloon which you can experience for around £20. It is a very pleasant walk down onto the sea front and there is usually some sort of activity going on. read more

Bournemouth Gardens are lovely all year round but especially in summer. So much to see and do and very very pretty.

Love Bournemouth gardens - always lots to do and things to see whatever the weather. Particular highlights are mostly around Summertime for obvious reasons, but flowers by candlelight is my personal favourite. Other events such as bands on at the bandstand, the balloon, fireworks and the open air cinema are all great things to do & see if you get the chance. Take a picnic, sit on the lawn next to stream and enjoy the sunshine when it chooses to appear! read more
