There are a surprising number of parks and open spaces in and around Yate, offering children's play areas, lakes and ponds, wildlife areas and walks through woods.

You'll find organised activities ranging from concerts to owl walks, and there are several Friends groups that take care of each park.

Find more information on:

• Kingsgate Park

• Ridge Wood

• Yate Common

We've been out and about mapping the parks and footpaths - you'll find a map on each page, or click here for a larger map of the area.
