Poole Park Railway

All aboard!

Our railway engine 'Howard' and his 32-person capacity, wheelchair and pushchair accessible, dog-friendly carriages will take you on a leisurely ride around the freshwater lake, happily tooting as you go.

The service operates throughout the year; during the spring/summer season we aim for a daily service operating between 10am-4.30pm. During the colder, wetter months the service is less regular.

We recommend you check the Friends of Poole Park Railway Facebook group page for regular on-site service updates, especially on poor weather days.
