Many green spaces in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole council (BCP) area are mapped with orienteering routes. Orienteering is an outdoor activity where the aim is to navigate between markings called control points marked on a map.
Park based courses in Bournemouth include:
- Littledown Centre, Bournemouth
- Kings Park, Bournemouth
- Slades Park, Bournemouth
- Seafront Orienteering, Boscombe
- Queens Park, Charminster
Download the maps - here's the link from the 'Areas' page of the Wessex Orienteering website There is also an app called MaprunF, (free download-playstore). It enables a form of Orienteering that uses a SmartPhone App for punching and timing. It's like virtual orienteering as there is no physical course to follow (no markers etc).
There is lots of information on the Wessex orienteering website to help you get started. Parks (Permanent Orienteering Courses) | Wessex Orienteering Club (wessex-oc.org)
