Who this task will support
Friends of Boscombe Chine Gardens
Friends of Boscombe Chine Gardens was inaugurated and constitutionalised on the 3rd July 2002. Our primary objective is to enhance & conserve Boscombe Chine Gardens for the enjoyment of the community & visitors. Our intention is for Boscombe Chine Gardens to be a place where everyone from toddlers to grown-ups, can visit to enjoy the landscaped and natural gardens, associated wildlife and various amenities. Located within Boscombe Chine are wonderful three dimensional bedding displays alongside traditional bedding and innovative herbaceous planting schemes. A splendid 1890's lodge is situated at the northern end of the chine close to the terraced Clock Café and 18 hole Mini-golf course. We also have a Multi Use Games Area where basketball and football are played. Further down the gardens is an interpretation of the original circular spa shelter with a conical, oak shingled roof that acts as a stop off point for the Bournemouth land train. There is also an enclosed children's play area with an innovative water play feature. Boscombe Chine Gardens is proud to be Bournemouth's 10th Local Nature Reserve. Holder of a prestigious green flag award since 2007.


Friends of Boscombe Chine Gardens have asked for some help. They have a wonderful log cabin located at the top of the gardens that needs a bit of love. This session will be to do a few repairs to the cabin, to sand and then apply a 'treatment' to the wood. The log cabin is a good size so if we are unable to finish during this session we will attend on Monday 5th to finish what we have started. Gloves will be provided.

Runners to meet at King's Park cricket pavilion for the short run to the session. Those wanting to make their own way to the task the runners will aim to get to the gardens by 6.45pm. Meeting point large brown wooden log cabin near the basket ball court.

Walkable

You will be able to join a group walking to the task if you'd prefer not to run.

Options are available to run between 2km and 2km in total

Remember that we run/walk to and from the task, so you'll only be running/walking for half this distance in one go.

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us.
