Developments

The land upon which the park is located is held under covenant from National Playing Fields Association and therefore cannot be built upon. The Bowling Club, however, does have planning permission to build an extension to the changing rooms on the site and is looking for funds.

Events

Bristol's parks host hundreds of events each year from keynote festivals and performances in the city's magnificent green spaces, through sporting events and charity fundraisers, to smaller scale community events in local parks. Most of these events take place from April to September. To find out what is happening in the park, visit What's On. If you are interested in holding an event in one of Bristol's parks and open spaces, visit our information for event promoters.

History

The park was constructed after World War Two on the site of what was prefabricated housing. At the far end of the site some old apple trees remain from the gardens of the prefabs.

Plants and wildlife

The park has a variety of mature trees and hedges. These, together with its proximity to Oldbury Court Estate, provide valuable shelter to a variety of wildlife, ranging from butterflies to birds. There is plenty of birdlife in the park - watch out for the seagulls 'paddling' the grass for earthworms, and listen out for the green woodpeckers yaffling in the woodland near Oldbury Court and Snuff Mills.
