About Montpellier Gardens
Montpellier Gardens lie close to the town centre and form an important part of Cheltenham's Regency landscape. The southern end of the gardens holds the recreational facilities, including a children's play area, youth play and climbing equipment, skate ramps, tennis courts and fitness equipment, while the northern end is a more open grassy space with a footpath and a small arboretum of specimen trees. The central bandstand is a focal point for events throughout the year. A Garden Cafe sits within the gardens, with plenty of additional refreshment options nearby in the surrounding town. Toilets on site include a Changing Places facility, and accessible paths run through the gardens, with on-street parking available nearby. The combination of ornamental Regency planting and active play and sports facilities makes Montpellier Gardens a versatile spot for families visiting the heart of Cheltenham. The gardens and play areas are free to enter and open to the public.
