Poole’s award-winning Country Park

160 acres of park and woodland, 2.6km of shoreline, 32 acres of formal garden, 6 types of natural habitat and 2,000 years of history… Upton Country Park has it all!

Marvel at the grandeur of our Grade II* listed Georgian Mansion House, and enjoy the rich diversity of wildlife along the shoreline. Allow the children to blow off steam at Spurrier’s Play Park or with a ball game on the front lawn. Join in with regular activities and events – or simply find a quiet spot to admire the amazing horticulture and beautiful botanical Walled Garden. 

Open ’til dusk every day, all year round. No admission fees, regular outdoor events, lots of child-friendly activities, beautiful grounds, weekly Parkruns and great walking/cycling links – what’s not to love?

Pop into our new Welcome Centre for immersive interactive displays which bring the park’s history to life, and provide a glimpse inside Upton House. Discover all the things to do during your visit, from simply walking the dog, stopping off for a snack in the Tea Rooms or enjoying the work of local artists in the Gallery Upstairs. 

The Park team are confident this is the best place to spend a day out in Poole, but don’t just take our word for it, take a look around and start planning your visit!
