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.
