Kingsgate Park — Attraction in Yate

Kingsgate Park is a lovely local park in Yate. It is the best park in my opinion in Yate. The park is always really well maintained and kept well. The grounds of the park are lovely and the lake is home to some stunning swans, ducks and newts. There is a larger play area for older children as well as a smaller play area for younger children. There is a concrete basketball court / football pitch and also plenty of seating around the park. Each year Yate Town Council hosts Yate Rocks which is a free musical festival at Kingsgate Park for all the family, with dance from local clubs and academies, children's games and activities, arts & crafts and community stalls offering a wide range of local products and there are plenty of stalls where you can buy soft drinks, alcoholic beverages and food. Kingsgate Park also hosts a free annual Easter Egg Extravaganza with an egg hunt and a bonnet parade which is hosted by Yate Town Council in conjunction with The Friends of Kingsgate Park. Kingsgate Park is accessible on foot by various entrances from Kenilworth, Elmwood, Sunningdale and Scott Way. There is also a small car park located at the end of Elmwood, off Sundridge Park where you can park your car and enter the park. I really like Kingsgate Park and I think it is perfect for all ages. There are lots of trees where you can take shelter under which provide good shade on sunny days. The eastern edge of the park is a dedicated nature...

I recently visited the Kingsgate Park and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience. The park was well-maintained and had a serene atmosphere which was perfect for a peaceful stroll. The lush greenery and the chirping birds added to the overall charm of the place.

The park has a wide variety of facilities for people of all ages. There are swings, slides, and other play structures for children, while adults can enjoy a game of basketball or simply relax on the benches. The park also offers several walking trails for those who want to enjoy a leisurely walk or jog.

One of the highlights of my visit was the beautiful pond that the park had. It was teeming with different types of fish and ducks, and it was a joy to watch them swim around. The park also had a small waterfall that added to the picturesque setting.

The park's cleanliness was commendable, and I didn't see any trash lying around. The park staff seemed to be doing a great job of maintaining the park, and they were always ready to help visitors with any queries.

The park's location is also a plus point, as it is easily accessible and has ample parking space. It's a great place to spend some quality time with family and friends, and I'm sure I'll be visiting it again soon.

Overall, my experience at the local park was fantastic, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and...

Absolute gem of a park tucked away a few minutes walk to the south of the town centre. Great kid's play area with equipment for a full range of ages from toddler to teenager and a new adult exercise equipment area installed early in 2020. There are variety of species of huge mature trees providing plenty of shade and a beautiful recent wood sculpture by local artist Andy O'Neill. Though the play park is often busy there are plenty of quieter spots too, a pretty lake with wildfowl to walk round and more natural areas to explore and bug hunt in around the edges. Immediately adjacent and accessible from the park are the lovely Vintage Birdcage Cakery cafe and lively Stanshawes pub with great outdoor space. Parking in the courtyard is for customers only though so you'll need to log your registration with the cafe. Parking for the Kingsgate park itself is very limited (c.8 spaces accessible from Elmwood, adjacent to the toilet block). Please be considerate when leaving your vehicle on residential...
