About Coney Hill Park
Coney Hill Park is a free, council-maintained open space in the Coney Hill neighbourhood on the east side of Gloucester, off Metz Way at postcode GL4 4PJ. It is one of the formal children's play areas managed by Gloucester City Council and is held as freehold leisure and culture land, with the play area benefiting from capital investment that included the supply and installation of new grass-mat safety surfacing. The equipped play area sits within open green space, giving local families a straightforward, accessible spot for everyday play close to home. As a neighbourhood park rather than a large destination site, detailed published information about facilities such as toilets, parking and a cafe is limited, so visitors should expect a practical local playground. The council maintains the play equipment and responds quickly to any reported faults, with damaged or dangerous equipment inspected within one working day. Its position off Metz Way makes it easy to reach for residents across Coney Hill and the surrounding eastern suburbs. Entry to the park and its play area is free and open to the public, making it a reliable local option for families wanting a quick outdoor play stop during the day.
