Woodland Walk

Woodland Walk, the tree-lined path winding from Christchurch Road to the sea, is set to be rejuvenated as part of our Boscombe regeneration project. We’re excited to transform this well-loved spot into an even safer and more welcoming space for both people and wildlife. Watch this space as we breathe new life into Woodland Walk over the coming months!

Creating a safer, more beautiful Woodland Walk

Our goal is to create a natural wilderness where both visitors and nature can thrive. Read on to learn more about our plans for the trail.

Safety improvements

Visitor safety is our number one priority. To help create a safe environment for everyone at Woodland Walk, we’ll be:

  • Improving the walking paths to make them clearer and safer for all visitors.
  • Making the area more accessible and easy to navigate, so families, joggers, and those with mobility issues can enjoy the woodland with peace of mind.

Public realm upgrades

We plan to upgrade Woodland Walk by creating inviting spaces and boosting biodiversity. This includes:

  • Adding comfortable benches and seating areas that allow for stunning views of the arboretum.
  • Planting a variety of native species to create a more beautiful and ecologically rich environment.

Maintaining natural charm

As we make our improvements, we'll take care to preserve the natural look and feel of Woodland Walk. It's important to us to strike the right balance between enhancing the park and maintaining its unique charm and character. We'll also introduce regular maintenance schedules to make sure the area stays clean, safe, and beautiful for visitors throughout the year.

Getting the community involved

Involving the local community is key to the success of this project, which is why we're creating a 'Friends of Woodland Walk' group to bring together local residents and park enthusiasts. This group will help address local needs, offer feedback, and support the park's ongoing success, making sure that Woodland Walk continues to thrive for years to come.

These improvements will be implemented in the coming months, transforming Woodland Walk into a rejuvenated natural haven for all to enjoy. Check out our latest video below from the Woodland Walk Engagement Event held at the end of October 2024.
