Although part of the park has been lost to arable farming much of it remains as a golf course.

The course was first laid out over 9 holes in 1902 by the 2nd Earl of Londesborough, in all probability at this stage for the use of himself and his guests, but in 1904 Blankney Golf Club was formed to manage the course which it continues to do today.

Main entrance to Central Park off Wide Bargate. 

Local signage states that :-

"Complementing Boston's historic townscape is the large open space of Central Park. This was originally part of a much larger private deer park, attached to the late 1700's Tunnard House on Wide Bargate, near the main entrance gates to the park. 

The private park was sold in 1894 with plans to develop the fine Victorian housing that still surrounds the park. The houses were built for the local shopkeepers and trades people of the busy town of Boston. Thorold Street, Tawney Street and Norfolk Street were completed in the early 1900's, Norfolk Street was located along the boundary of the original deer park. 

In 1919 Boston Borough purchased the central portion and developed it as 'Central Park' with space and facilities for cricket and football as well as other games. The facilities here replaced those of Boston's larger 'Peoples Park' which closed and had been located at the opposite end of the town, being subsequently used for port based activities. Central Park opened to the public in 1932. 

The park has provided a central, welcoming and cared for space for the town throughout its history. It is still evolving and has seen the recent developments of, new gardens spaces, artworks reflecting the towns heritage and a skate park"
