Building a skatepark for Turlin Moor
After lots of consultation with local residents and listening to young people we have started our much-wanted project to construct a spray concrete open access skatepark on Turlin Moor on the site of the former community centre.
With nearly 3,000 under 16’s in the area we want to:
· Give local young people a voice on a local facility that is for their use,
· Encourage healthy and free outdoor play activities,
· Create a space that will encourage participants to learn patience and respect, as well as concern for their own and others safety
· Create an inter-generational space where all ages are welcome.
BCP Council have agreed we can use the site, and we have started our fund raising. We very much hope to start construction in 2025!
If you would like to get involved, please contact Mel Lucas on 0759 8780361.
whats on?
We host an exciting range of events and activates across Turlin Moor! Below is a poster that you can browse. If you have your own ideas for an event or community activity or you would like to find out more, please get in touch using the contact form at the bottom of this page or via our facebook page.

OUR PROJECTS
THE FOOD STORE
To help combat the cost of living we run a food store every Tuesday from 12:30 noon until 4PM at St Gabriel’s Church Hall, Keysworth road, BH16 5BH. Our food store is open to all residents across Turlin Moor and Hamworthy and offers a range of fresh foods and cupboard staples, baby products and even pet foods!
To sign up please bring valid ID and proof of address. Yearly membership is £1 then a £3 donation every time you shop with us. You don’t need to be on benefits to use the shop!
THE PLAY PARK
Everyone is so proud about the Play Park. The original play park had become dilapidated and in response local residents organised the Play Moor, Skate Moor community group to tackle this. Working with Ann to consult with the community, they then worked with council colleagues (our colleagues from Environmental Services were great partners) to raise the £120,000 to make this happen. The Play Park was opened on 4 July 2019 and as you can see from the second photo it was an immediate success. Play is fundamentally important to the development of all children.
THE SKATEPARK
Turlin Moor, home to over 2,300 children and young people, has long lacked safe spaces for older kids and teens. Following the success of a new children’s playpark, the community is now driving plans for a modern skatepark on a disused site at the heart of the estate. Led by Poole Communities Trust and local group Play Moor Skate Moor, and designed with Maverick Skateparks, the project will provide inclusive facilities for all abilities. More than just a skatepark, it aims to strengthen community ties, boost wellbeing, and create positive opportunities for you people.
FOOTBALL FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
Every Thursday evening, we run a football session with AFC Bournemouth for the young people of Turlin Moor, some of whom are pictured below during their visits to AFC Bournemouth’s stadium in 2017 and 2019 respectively, as part of our programme of summer activities.
Community Voice
