Bristol Parks Forum

Parks & Groups Listing

The list below shows all of Bristol's parks with the names of Park Groups alongside. Where there is a link on the park name it will take you to Bristol Park's website describing the park or to other information. Links on the park groups take you to their websites.

We are sure that this list contains errors and ommissions - please email to let us know what they are! The park names are taken from Bristol Parks' official list. We know that some of you use different names for your parks, if your Park Group uses a different name from that listed please let us know.

Information has now been added on the status of the site following the Full Council decision on disposals under the Area Green Space Plans on 22nd Nov 2011. While we believe this list to be accurate it is not an official list and may contain errors, if you believe any of the information is wrong please let us know. Sites listed as 'Neighbourhood Committee' are those where the Committees are being asked to make a decision.
The current list of groups that are official members of the BPF together with information about the groups can be seen here.

For other groups the contact is via from Bristol Parks - contact Catherine Newman, who is providing admin support to the BPF . You should also contact Catherine if you are interested in starting a new park group.

How to find the Parks

Go to www.bristol.gov.uk/explore-bristol-city
Bristol City Council managed parks & green spaces are marked like this:

Or use www.bristol.gov.uk/my-neighbourhoods enter your address and use the 'My Nearest' tab. Parks & Green Spaces are listed under 'Leisure & culture'.

For administration purposes Bristol Parks divide the City into four 'Service Delivery Areas' - North, Central, East & South and these are shown in the final column. The boundaries for these areas mostly follow the NP areas. There is also a separate unit to manage the large estates or destination parks.
