★★★★★Featured review by Simon Hewitt

Walked my dogs in the park several times over a weekend whilst visiting my son who lives nearby. Dogs very welcome so long as you pick up after them. Plenty of bins around also. A huge well mown grass playing field on a hill side with views across to the east of Bristol. Plenty of room for ball games, kite flying etc.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Outstanding for families with children of mixed ages. Toddlers get scaled equipment in a secure, dog-free enclosure; older children have a zip line, trampoline, and challenging frames. The separation between the playground fence and the open dog-walking field is well-designed and removes conflict between dog owners and families.

â„šī¸ What to Know Before You Go

💡Bring a ball or kite to make use of the large hillside field beyond the playground
⏰Dogs are welcome in the open park area and excluded from the fenced playground
đŸŽŸī¸Sand play area is within the enclosure — bring a change of clothes for younger children
🚗Picnic benches and seating are available both inside and outside the fenced area

“Fabulous for a dog walk. Children's play equipment and sand play are fenced off so neither dog owners or parents need to worry.”

“Nice secure park with toddler friendly play frames, swings, roundabout, zip line, trampoline, etc. Some more challenging frames for slightly bigger children too. Lots of seating, and a couple of picnic benches.”
