A characterful and popular local community park reflecting the vibrant and multi-cultural area it serves. The adventure playground includes an accessible aerial ramp leading to a dramatic tree house with nets, slides and fireman poles.

All the play areas are fenced so as to be dog free.

Full of an impressive variety of mature trees and plants, Cotham Gardens are perfect for escape and play. Picnic benches are scattered through the park and there is a playground for children and young people. Visit the human sundial and tell the time with your own shadow, or discover the distance between Bristol and its twinned cities on the Topograph.

A striking landmark and useful meeting place, The Arches marks the separation of Gloucester Road from Montpelier, Cotham and Stokes Croft.

In existence since 1917, this is one of the oldest allotment sites in Bristol and commands stunning views.

This small community park, which offers views across the city centre, is a hidden gem. There is a fenced-off, accessible play area with plenty of seating and space for picnics. The annual Montpelier Bean Feast event is not to be missed and has sparked creative initiatives around the park, such as colourful wall paintings, large mosaics and knitted tree jumpers!

A fine example of a Victorian neighbourhood park, this is a perfect spot to relax among shady trees and open grassy areas. The playground is dog-free and has a sandpit, swings for toddlers, climbing frames, a slide, balancing rails and more. Additionally there is a paddling pool for children, which is opened from May bank holiday till early September. During the hotter months there is a mobile café and picnic tables.
