2006 marked the Centenary of Alexandra Park in Parkstone, and the start of a plan to improve the rather uninviting approaches to this well-loved and well-used community park.

All three entrances to Alexandra Park were poorly defined in the streetscene and offered no sense of arrival or destination.

Old blockwork walls, hedges & railings were removed and replaced with more imposing entrances which include pillars, gates and lighting.

At the set-back Palmerston Road entrance brick walls have replaced hedging between the (resurfaced) footpath & neighbouring homes, and new barriers will be installed in order to deter cyclists. 

Work started on site in June and was completed in October 2009.
