Parks and Open Space

Parks, gardens and open spaces are an extremely valuable amenity, particularly in a densely populated city like Portsmouth. They provide a form of visual relaxation and relief from the built-up areas of the city. They can offer peace and tranquillity, as well as space to run around and let off steam. They present a wide variety of opportunities for formal and informal recreation and children's play.

The more formal parks contain examples of horticultural excellence, like the award winning Victoria Park and Burgoyne Gardens, whilst the more natural areas such as Portsdown Hill and Hilsea Lines are more important for nature conservation and wildlife.

In addition, the Parks Service are committed to offering a diverse range of facilities and amenities for residents and visitors alike. Click on one of the links below for more information.
