Buildings

Today St Agnes is the only park in Bristol to have a park keeper living in the lodge, which is also a building which brings the community into the park. The building's new annexe also houses a management committee drawn from local communities, together with offices and meeting space for various community groups. In 2002 St Agnes Park received a mention from the Civic Trust in recognition of the architectural restoration of the lodge.

Community, clubs and associations

A very active local community group is working to improve the park – for more information, contact Bristol Parks (see below). St Pauls Unlimited, a partnership addressing local issues, also represents local people in matters relating to the park and promotes events in the park.
