About Gores Marsh Park
Gores Marsh Park lies on Winterstoke Road in Ashton Gate, in the Bedminster area of south Bristol, and is managed by Bristol City Council. It is a flat, easy-to-reach park with an accessible footpath suitable for wheelchair users, and a footpath runs through the play area itself so families with pushchairs and wheelchairs can move around comfortably. The play area is described by the council as a large dog-free natural play landscape, combining traditional equipment such as a rope swing, dish roundabout, swings and a seesaw with mini goal posts for informal football. This blend of natural play and active games gives children a mix of ways to enjoy the space. Around the play area there is seating, cycle stands and new planting, reflecting recent improvements to the park and making it a pleasant place to sit and supervise or to arrive by bike. As a neighbourhood park the council does not list toilets or a cafe here, so it is best suited to a local visit, but its flat, accessible layout and dog-free natural play area make it an inviting option for families in the Bedminster and Ashton Gate area. The park is open 24 hours a day with no charge for admission.
