Victoria Park — Attraction in Bristol

Visit this park often with my sister and 3 year old nephew. Lovely little paths leading to the play ground area. Nephew wouldn't agree on the walk up to the park as he's to excited and feels it takes ages to walk there. So can be a bit of a walk for little legs. Nice play park. Small compared to the grounds it is in and can become busy quickly. Especially being close to a primary school. Nice views to look out on whilst being able to enjoy a drink or cake from the lovely yellow van that's park up Selling hot and cold drinks, cakes, sandwiches and ice lollies and maybe even more!! Toilets visually ain't that great but always have loo roll and paper towels when had to use the facilities but at least this park has them! Lots of grass areas and plenty of different access points to come in and out the park. Will no doubtly remain visiting...

My dog is a free spirit and goes where he feels like, but at the risk of a £100 fine (according to my learned new friend) I thought I better keep him on the lead. He was not happy about that, hence the...

Bonfire night organised by Victoria Park action group. Brilliant! Giant fire :-) Hot!! Don't wear metal jewellery!! There really should be a guy though. That's our history!!!! This is the day we celebrate our independence from a foreign power! Don't erase our history guys. (That's where that word comes from!!! It kind of matters).

Get there early for hot dogs there's always a giant queue or a wait or they've run out of onions later on! Lol. Still a great evening though and Brilliant effort all round from the friendly VPAG folks!

Ps. Don't worry that there's no fireworks.. there are plenty in neighbouring streets that you can easily see from standing around...
