Parks and open spaces

Welcome

It might be chilly out there but you can still wrap up warm and get out into one of Bristol's 450 parks and green spaces. Local parks are fantastic for walking, which is a great way to exercise and burn off some of those extra calories - just browse the links on the right hand side of the page to find out more.

With spring just around the corner, it's an ideal time to get active and try something new. Why not get involved with your local park or green space or help to green up Bristol by coming to one of our community planting events?

These web pages tell you about our parks and green spaces, a bit about their management and projects taking place, and how you can get involved. They will also tell you about the Parks and Green Space Strategy and the development of Area Green Space Plans, which will provide plans for parks in Bristol in the years to come.

Over 25 million visits are made to the city's parks and green spaces annually and, according to the city council's Citizens Panel, they are the third best thing about living in Bristol - so what are you waiting for?
