The Ark Cafe

The Ark café in Poole Park is a spacious and comfortable cafe with a large outside terrace area overlooking Poole Park’s beautiful Swan Lake.

Whether it’s a cup of coffee you’re after or a spot of lunch, The Ark Café has something for all the family.

And, it’s so much more than just a cafe – it also has a fantastic ceramic and painting studio if you’re feeling artistic!

The Ark’s soft play centre, with its slides and tunnels, will keep the children entertained. There’s a separate toddlers’ area.

You can enjoy a cold dessert or hot waffles from the ice cream parlours, offering a fantastic selection of quality ice cream as well as traditional ice lollies and cones.

If you fancy getting online, then why not take advantage of their free customer wi-fi network.

The Ark offers so much fun for the young and young at heart – but if you want something a little more sophisticated – why not try its sister restaurant, The Kitchen Restaurant. The Kitchen Restaurant is located next to the boating lake and a short lakeside stroll to the other end of the park.

Poole Park itself offers: mini golf, tennis, bowls, outdoor exercise equipment, play parks, pedalows and beautiful scenic walks. With such an offering, you’re sure to find something for all the family to enjoy!
