A Place to Remember, Reflect, and Grow Together
The Fylde Memorial Arboretum is a living woodland of peace, remembrance and community in the heart of the Fylde
About The Arboretum
The Fylde Memorial Arboretum and Community Woodland is a peaceful, volunteer-run space dedicated to remembrance and reflection. Nestled in the heart of Blackpool, it honours those who have served in the Armed Forces and public service, and offers a quiet place for the community to gather, learn, and grow together. With native trees, memorial stones, and a commitment to wildlife and wellbeing, the Arboretum is a living tribute — shaped by many, remembered by all.
Peace Takes Flight at First Light
