Friends of Kingsgate Park

Friends of Kingsgate Park We work closely with Yate Town Council who owns the park to provide an open green space for the benefit of local people and wildlife. Accessible to all

We wish to maintain the original character of the park and provide a safe haven for all who use it. Kingsgate Park was formed in the 1960's as Yate was developing into a town. It was initially run by South Gloucestershire Council but Yate Town Council took over the management in 2003. The park is an excellent leisure area situated in central Yate. Hidden amongst the housing, it's perfectly possibl

e to drive past it without noticing it's there, but it's well worth exploring. The park has easy access for wheelchair users. The park boasts an array of facilities including a large playground which is split into three sections to provide entertainment for children of all ages. There is also a water play area with a 22 metre stream that is perfect for paddling on a hot summer day. The lake is home to swans, ducks and newts and is a great place to float model boats or the old park tradition of duck feeding. The eastern edge of the park is a dedicated nature reserve area. . The park plays an important part in the local community and throughout the year it hosts a variety of free events including an annual Easter Egg Hunt, the Yate Music Festival and a Carol Concert. The Friends of Kingsgate Park are extremely proud of our involvement with the park and work closely with Yate Town Council to ensure that it is a welcoming environment for everyone to enjoy.

The second community mural at Kingsgate Park is now complete, bringing another splash of colour and creativity to the park.

A big thank you to the local young people, Learning Partnership West (LPW),
South Gloucestershire Council, the mural artist, and everyone involved
in helping bring this project to life.

It’s fantastic to see another example of partners working together to create something positive for the community to enjoy..
