This weekend Poole Park is celebrating its 125th anniversary with a special party.
Residents are invited to join in the celebrations at the park today from 10am to 4pm which include vintage cars, period fashion, art and live music.
Visitors can also upload their photos as part of the Poole Park mosaic and become part of Poole's future history.
Every £5 donated from every photo uploaded will help to unlock up to £50 in march funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
The thousands of photos will be collated to form a mosaic, which when viewed from the distance, will depict the original design of the park from 1890.
As Poole Park prepares to party, we look back at pictures of it through the years.
