About Mutley Park
Mutley Park is a spacious and lively community park in the Mutley area of Plymouth, a short way north east of the city centre. It is something of a local secret, offering a relaxed neighbourhood green space away from the busier main parks. At its heart is a well-equipped, fenced play area with modern equipment including slides, swings, a tyre swing and an eye-catching spiral helter-skelter slide, which is especially popular with younger children. Around the playground there is a large, flat grassed space that is ideal for informal games of football and cricket, along with benches for picnics and a bike path for getting around the park. The park is dog-friendly, with dogs able to roam the open areas, making it a favourite with local families and dog walkers alike. It is worth noting that there are no toilets or catering facilities on site, so it is best suited to a shorter visit or a picnic you bring with you. Mutley Park is free to use and is managed by Plymouth City Council.
