Recreation Ground

The St Mary Bourne recreation ground was gifted to the parish council by The Countess of Portsmouth in 1921.

It is an open space available for the use of parishioners and visitors.

The Recreation Ground is covered by a borough-wide Public Spaces Protection Order relating to Dog Fouling. The black litter bins provided by the Parish Council can all be used for disposal of bagged dog mess.  This applies to all parish council provided bins across the parish. A copy of the order is below.
