About your park
Award winning Chestnuts Park has a distinctive avenue of plane trees marking out the western, southern and northern boundaries.
The park is a great place to visit for people of all ages. An open playing field covers most of the western side of the park with the café and picnic terrace overlooking the playground for various ages, to the south. The café is open Monday to Saturday throughout the year.
The eastern half of the park contains an outdoor gym, tennis courts (which are available and free to use all year round). The park benefits from a multi-use games area (MUGA) which, although designed for football, can be used for a variety of sports. There is also a basketball hoop and line markings just outside the MUGA.
There is a play area which is aimed primarily at the under 12s. It offers a fantastic range of 19 pieces of equipment. Children and their careers can also make use of the park’s unusual sensory garden where they can have fun making noise generated by their movements.
The park has a community willow garden and orchard of 21 fruit trees.
This area was developed and is maintained by the Friends of Chestnuts Park. If you want to find out more about the Friends group or to get involved, you can visit the Friends of Chestnuts Park website (external link).
The Chestnuts community centre, which is managed by the Bridge Renewal Trust, is located in the south-east corner near St Ann’s Road.
