About Fishponds Park
Fishponds Park is a neighbourhood playground in the Frome Vale area of Bristol, managed by Bristol City Council and located on Fishpond Road just off Fishponds High Street. Described as a 1980s-vintage-style playground, it is a convenient stop for families needing a break from the shops. The play equipment includes a toddler climbing unit, a slide, a rotator, a mixed swing bay, a flying saucer climbing unit and a spinner, giving a mix of gentle toddler play and spinning, climbing fun for slightly older children. The park can be reached from either Fishponds Road or Manor Road, and sits conveniently close to the local high street. It is open at all times with no admission charge.
