About Gaunts Ham Park
Gaunts Ham Park is a community playground on Lincoln Street in St Philips, within the Lawrence Hill area of inner-city Bristol, managed by Bristol City Council. It offers a surprisingly green and natural feel for such an urban location, thanks to the mature trees around the site. The play area is well equipped for a range of ages, with rockers, a carousel, an adventure trail, swings, toddler multiplay and a tower with a basketball hoop, giving younger children and older ones each something to enjoy. Beyond the play equipment, there is a multi-use games area for ball games and a teenage meeting shelter, making the park a genuine neighbourhood hub for different age groups rather than just a playground for younger children. Access is straightforward, from Ducie Road and Tenby Street in Lawrence Hill. As an inner-city community park, the council does not list toilets, parking or a cafe for the site, so it is best suited to a local visit. The mix of play equipment, a games area and shaded, tree-lined surroundings makes Gaunts Ham Park a valuable green space in a densely built part of the city. It is open at all times with no charge for admission.
