Upton Country Park has completed the first phase of its Discovery Project.
The £2.3m initiative celebrates the heritage of the park by restoring, conserving and interpreting the historical features and landscapes.
There are restored pathways, enhanced shoreline trails, and “The Lookout” bird hide overlooks Holes Bay Nature Park.
Improved drainage has also revitalised key horticultural areas, benefiting surrounding trees and shrubs.
The project was made possible by the Parks for People Programme supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund and The National Lottery Community Fund, alongside additional funding from BCP Council and the Friends of Upton Country Park.
Cllr Richard Herrett, Portfolio Holder for Destination, Leisure and Commercial Operations, said: “These remarkable improvements to Upton Country Park have not only made it more accessible but have also helped us celebrate and share its rich history and natural beauty with a wider audience.”
