About Freedom Fields Park
Freedom Fields is one of Plymouth's most historic parks, close to the Greenbank and Lipson areas of the city and about a 15-minute walk from the centre. It marks the site of a decisive English Civil War engagement, the Battle of Freedom Fields, and a monument in the park records that history. For families the main draw is the enclosed children's play area, which includes a climbing frame, sand play, tyre swings and roundabouts, set alongside a multi-use games court and a boules court. The park is designed to be easy to get around: its east and west entrances are both pram and wheelchair friendly, and all the paths are flat tarmac so that wheelchair and pram users can reach every area. The park holds a Green Flag Award, recognising its standard of upkeep, and is managed by Plymouth City Council. It is free to enter and makes a pleasant green escape within easy reach of the city centre, combining a well-equipped play space with open lawns and mature planting. It is located on Lipson Road, Plymouth PL4 8RJ.
