About Hillfields Park
Hillfields Park is a neighbourhood park on Beechen Drive in Hillfields, east Bristol, managed by Bristol City Council. Its standout feature is a large, fully fenced play area designed with accessibility in mind, using both safety surfacing and accessible surfacing so that more children can join in. Tarmac paths lead into the play area for wheelchair users, with only minor slopes, and the paths connect the different pieces of equipment. The playground is generously kitted out, with cradle swings, a hip hop slide, a twinfly, a balance tube, a rodeo board, a skyrail, a sleeper maze, a pod swing and climbing hut, a pendulum swing, a space net, a seesaw and a rotator, alongside separate equipment aimed at toddlers. This broad mix means the park works well for a wide age range in a single visit. Around the play equipment are grass areas with rock and log seating, an accessible footpath and bins, giving families somewhere to sit and supervise. The whole play area is fenced to keep it dog free, which is reassuring for parents of young children. Hillfields Park is open and accessible 24 hours a day with no charge for admission.
