Canford Cliffs Village Pocket Park is a small piece of public green space marking the entrance to Canford Cliffs Village, on Haven Road in Poole. It isn't a destination in its own right, there's no formal planting scheme or facilities to speak of, but it's a genuine, named local landmark: it's mentioned as a waypoint in at least one published walking guide to the Poole Bay area, where walkers are directed past the park before turning into the village at the mini-roundabout.
A village landmark, not an attraction
The park's role is really about place rather than planting: a small patch of grass at the point where Haven Road's residential stretch gives way to the village centre. It's the kind of pocket park many British villages have, unglamorous, but a useful and recognisable marker for anyone finding their way on foot.

From here it's a short walk to the historic gardens of Compton Acres, to Canford Cliffs Beach, and to the parade of independent cafés, salons and restaurants along Haven Road, including its bakery and a handful of well-regarded places to eat. It's a small piece of one of Poole's more affluent villages, explore more of the area in our guide to things to do in Bournemouth.
