About Hatherley Park
Hatherley Park is a charming ornamental garden of around 3 hectares, combining playing fields and play areas with a lake, a wildlife pond and a circular path that loops around the edge. The children's play area and youth play equipment sit alongside a football field and a boules court, while mature specimen trees give the park its established, leafy character. The circular path makes it easy to walk a full loop of the park, and accessible paths run throughout. Cobo Coffee provides refreshments for visitors, though there are no public toilets on site. The park can be accessed from Hatherley Court Road and Bournside Road, with on-street parking nearby. With its blend of ornamental planting, water features for wildlife and family play facilities, Hatherley Park is a pleasant and well-cared-for green space serving the west of Cheltenham. The park and its play areas are free to enter and open to the public.
