This is a great place to relax and enjoy the outdoors. It is a beautiful and peaceful place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. If you are looking for a place to walk, run, picnic, or play sports. It's also a popular spot for walking, jogging, and picnicking. There are also a number of sports pitches on the down, making it a great place to play football, rugby, or cricket.

Best free open space in Bristol. So much history. Kite flying, sat football and festivals. If you fancy a beautiful walk or a nice coffee with people watching this is the place to go.

Amazing to have this great open space on the centre of a city. It's been a Godsend this past year, especially being able to grab a good take-away coffee from the cafe.
