Summer Sports in the Park
Fun, Fit and Free – coming soon to the park – you will need your own equipment though ! Tennis courts and the putting green will be opening soon.
Tree Trails and Tall Tales
A great way for children (and anyone interested) to explore some of the major trees in our Park – and learn some fun facts about them as you tick them off the list!

Happy Birthday Boultham Park!
On this day 91 years ago Boultham Park opened to the public.
In recent years we’ve marked the day one way or another… you might remember in 2018 when we celebrated the ‘grand reopening’ of Boultham Park after its restoration. Thousands of people came to enjoy a beautiful sunny day, picnics, music, the Royal Wedding and FA Cup Final on a big screen. The cafe was buzzing, the ice cream vans couldn’t cope with demand!
Last year Lincoln’s Mayor visited and we marked the park’s 90th birthday with music from Lincolnshire Hospitals Band and Boultham Park cakes in the cafe.
We had great plans for this year’s birthday celebrations, but of course they had to be dropped because of Coronavirus restrictions.
However there is always next year. The wonderful thing about our parks is that they serve the community year after year, generation after generation. Boultham Park will still be there waiting for our events and celebrations when this is all over.
In the meantime, please continue to enjoy the park, safely, and let’s look forward to a time when the community can all come together again in Boultham Park and Lincoln’s other wonderful parks and open spaces.
Happy Birthday Boultham Park.
#PerfectParks
Green Flag Award have launched their #PerfectParks challenge
The campaign is a bid to counteract feelings of isolation during the COVID-19 global pandemic, whilst recognising the importance of parks. The challenge calls upon people of all ages – especially families with children – to create pictures that celebrate the features that would make up their ‘perfect park’.

Coronavirus / covid-19 update
Please note that events / activities / volunteering groups are being cancelled from Monday 23rd March (some sooner), until further notice. We are sorry to have to take this step but in light of the most recent government advice it is the right thing to do, to delay the spread of the disease and protect those people in the ‘vulnerable’ categories.
We look forward to reinstating our activities, and to starting the exciting programme of events through the lake restoration project later in the year.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
