A Community Green Space
Cosham Park is a recreational park located in the heart of Cosham in Portsmouth. The park is known as a community hotspot, providing peaceful scenic backdrops and plenty of space to enjoy a stroll, a picnic, or a game of football with friends. The early 1900s saw a push for more green spaces in urban areas, leading to the creation of Cosham Park, with a goal to provide local residents with a place to enjoy outdoor activities and to simply relax.
A History of the Park
During the late 19th to early 20th century, the local area saw increased growth, with Cosham transitioning from a small village into a bustling suburb of Portsmouth. As Cosham grew, so too did Cosham Park, with work taking place to create open lawns, tree-lined paths and fields for sports. The charming local park now features a children’s playground, a seating area and well-maintained gardens, providing locals and visitors with a diverse and relaxing outdoor space to enjoy.
Over the years the park has played host to countless community events, remaining a vital part of the local area and providing its residents with a beautiful outdoor local space across multiple generations.
