Spring in Poole

When spring starts in Poole and the sun begins to shine over the destination again, it’s a great time to embrace longer days and warmer weather. Shake off the cold winter chill and enjoy the best our wonderful destination has to offer.

Parks and gardens

Springtime for Poole parks and gardens means flowers, wildlife, and beautiful colours! When the flowers start to bloom again, you can see stunning flowers in the gardens, and of course, dotted around the destination, you will see the iconic bright brink cherry blossoms. With nearly a fifth of Poole being open green space, 43 play parks, and more than 500 hectares of heathland, there are plenty of opportunities to get out, get active, and see rare native wildlife. Visit Poole Park and Upton Country Park for a fabulous day out in nature. Read more about Poole parks and gardens.

Beaches

The beaches haven’t hit peak times, but with longer sunlight hours and warmer days, it can be a great time to enjoy a holiday. On a dry day, the seaside is still a treat for a sandy adventure and ice cream! Poole is a great choice for a short break during the Easter and half-terms, whether you’re spending time with family, young children, going to an event, or just enjoying a much-needed bank holiday! Stroll along the Quay and enjoy the sunshine, admire the boats, and then stop for a nice meal — from a full sit-down treat to delicious salty chips in the paper. With better weather to spend more time outdoors again, you can easily see why some think spring is the best season to visit Poole.

Spring for kids
