Welcome to Slades Park

Slades Park in Bournemouth is home to the Bournemouth Velodrome, Slades Park Pavilion, a skate park, children's playground, dog park, 3G football pitch, and Ensbury Community Centre.

Active Dorset CIO is a Charity that has been established to support local people to become more active. We work with local communities and partners in identifying underused spaces which provide opportunities for promoting active lifestyles.

All revenue and surpluses raised at Slades will be re-invested to support the delivery of activity or to enhance facilities at the site and encourage a more active and healthy community.
