Have you got any old photos or memories to share?
As part of the Lake Restoration Project we would love to build on our archive.
Thank you to those people who have already contributed photos, postcards and old documents. See the ‘History’ tab for a link to the digital archive.
Do you have memories of the park that you would be happy to share with us? Some old family photos or a Boultham Park postcard? We’d love to hear from you. With your permission, we will add them to our archive. We might even use them as part of the lake restoration project activities, or in the information boards.
Since we started collecting your personal histories back in June, we have been lucky enough to hear some fantastic tales of how different generations enjoyed the lake – from childhood to their later years.
We would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has been kind enough to share their memories and experiences of the lake. Your histories provide first hand evidence of the past and these special stories can now be passed down from one generation to the next. Thank you.
Thanks to our great ‘Lake Twins’ Helen and Lesley for sharing their memories and re-enacting a picture of them from childhood days at the lake !
You can contact us at [email protected] (we’d appreciate a brief description of what you have, and how you would like us to contact you) or telephone Lincoln 873607 and quote ‘Boultham Park Lake’ – please leave your contact details and we’ll call you back.
We are especially interested in lake-related pictures, documents and memories, but happy to receive any to do with the park.
National Volunteer Week – thank you to all our volunteers
As it’s National Volunteers week, we would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to our volunteers for all their hard work, enthusiasm and dedicatioon to Boultham Park and our city’s green spaces!!!
Volunteers have yet again made a huge impact over this past year, working within Boultham Park, Hartsholme Country Park, Birchwood Nature Park, Swanholme Lakes Local Nature Reserve and the South and West Commons.
Although all works and projects are currently on hold due to the Covid 19 virus, our volunteers are ready and eagerly waitng (with shovels and saws in hand!) to return and continue the good work where they left off.
Volunteering can bring huge benefits in terms of physical and mental health and this is something we will be promoting in our recruitment campaign when we are able to fully return to our green space sites. And there will be lots of opportunities to volunteer as part of the lake restoration project!
Once again, thank you to all our volunteers, past and present!
