About Tuffley Park
Tuffley Park is a free, council-maintained open space serving the Tuffley suburb in the south of Gloucester, at postcode GL1 5NP. It is one of the formal children's play areas managed by Gloucester City Council, combining an equipped play area with seasonal sports pitches: the Wingets site at Tuffley Park offers nine- and eleven-a-side football in winter and up to two cricket wickets in summer, which can be hired through the council. New entrance gates were installed in December 2021 through Section 106 developer funding, part of ongoing investment in the site. The play area sits within open green space that gives families room for informal play alongside the equipment, while the pitches support local sport through the year. As a neighbourhood park rather than a large destination site, detailed published information about facilities such as toilets, parking and a cafe is limited, so visitors should expect a practical local space focused on play and sport. Its position in Tuffley makes it a convenient local destination for families across the south of the city. Entry to the park and its play area is free and open to the public, offering an easy combination of a kickabout and time on the playground.
