1 / 2Horfield Common Playground
📍 Westbury Park, South West
Safely enclosed playground at Horfield Common for babies through school-age children, featuring baby swings, two slides, and climbing frames on artificial grass surfacing. Volunteer-run cafe on the common for refreshments.
Good range of equipment for all ages from babies to school-aged children. The slide has recently been refurbished to get rid of the mud at the bottom and cover the hill with artificial grass. Much more fun and less messy. Always feels very safe and clean.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children from babies to school age who want a clean, contained play space with a cafe option close by. The artificial grass keeps visits cleaner than before. The large slide fits a parent and child together. No roundabout or seesaw currently — worth knowing if those are a priority for your children.

“Great park with a variety of equipment including baby and big swings, 2 slides and a climbing frame. Currently undergoing some maintenance (18/7/20). Lovely cafe across the common doing drinks, ice creams and hot and cold food. Outdoor and indoor seating and a loo (this too is currently having building work). We park in Tesco car park which is just over the road!”

“Cafe on the Common run by volunteers is great. The fantastic hot food not allowed under covid restrictions but still great snacks and ice creams .Lots of sitting areas around the bowling green and tennis courts well socially distanced. They provide water for the dogs too. I was in the shadow area near the cafe serving area”
