Boultham Park is a 50-acre Victorian park in Lincoln, managed through a partnership between Linkage Community Trust and the City of Lincoln Council. The site features a central lake, formal gardens, and extensive woodland walking paths. Historically a private estate, it was gifted to the city in 1929 by the Dawber family. Recent major restoration projects have refurbished the park’s heritage structures and improved its drainage and accessibility. The park serves as a community hub, hosting various local events and volunteer-led initiatives. Wildlife present includes swans, ducks, and various bird species attracted to the lakeside habitat.
