About Withywood Park
Withywood Park is a linear neighbourhood green space in south Bristol, managed by Bristol City Council and open 24 hours a day. Its play area is imaginatively designed around a mound topped by a high twisty slide as the central feature. Around it sits a varied collection of equipment including a nest swing, dish roundabout, stepping pods, a stand-up seesaw, a low rotator, a four-person teeter totter, a balance cable, a hand-over-hand climbing frame and a stone compass. The play area is fenced to be dog-free and has safety surfacing, with an accessible footpath and tarmac paths giving easy access, plus areas of grass for playing and sitting. Beyond the playground, the park has a skateboard and BMX area and a ball court for older children and teenagers. Access is available from Four Acres, Paybridge Road and Keble Avenue. The park is open and accessible at all times with no admission charge, offering a free, inclusive play destination for families in Withywood and Hartcliffe.
