✓ Hand-feeding squirrels✓ Climbing frames✓ Open community space✓ Dogs present✓ Cyclists in play area✓ Bowling green

🏆 Funzaroo Verdict

Best for families with children who can handle climbing equipment without soft surfaces, and who enjoy a natural, active park setting rather than a purpose-built playground. The wildlife — particularly the hand-feeding squirrels — is a genuine highlight for children of all ages.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Bring monkey nuts to hand-feed the squirrels — they take food directly from your fingers
⏰Look for the drinks and snacks van near the top park entrance
🎟️The play area is partially open rather than fully fenced — keep an eye on young children
🚗Bowling club is open to visitors — worth checking for a family game

“On this occasion, I went to the park to play bowls, the club was friendly, the green was good and we had a lovely afternoon playing there. The park has tennis courts, kiddies, playground, the park is a green lung in the south Bristol area, a huge space of beautiful trees and grassland. A haven for runners and walkers it never seems crowded, but the park has lots of people doing their thing there. By the top entrance, there will usually be a van selling drinks and snacks, also the local community selling surplus fruit and veg. Well worth a visit.”
