Pittville Park

The eastern side is the formal part of the park with the focal point of the Pump Room building and the long parkland avenue from Central Cross Road.

The lake on the eastern side is a no-fishing lake and many of the wild fowl can be found on this lake. The lake also had two floating islands which have been installed to help to improve the quality of the water and have been planted with aquatic plants. You can normally see moorhens, coots and heron on these islands.

We would like to gather more information about the wildlife that visits our parks and open spaces and we are linked with the Gloucestershire Environmental Records Centre. You can visit their website to record any sighting of wildlife which you have seen during your visit.

Play

The children's play area is situated in a dog free zone and is completely enclosed with a number of picnic tables close to the play equipment.

The play area also has an added attraction of the aviaries which house a variety of birds and bunnies.

Please note that on Monday mornings, from 7.30 to 9.30am the play area will be closed for grass mowing.

The park's toilet facilities are next to the play area and are normally open during the daytime.

There is also a Changing Places facility on site.
