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.

Baby News! πŸ₯🍼

Beautiful photos from Wendy this week as she was the first to share with us that our favourite Kingsgate couple have finally welcomed their cygnets.

We ask that as always, but especially now, you give our Cob and Pen their space and keep four legged friends away from their nesting area. But don't worry we will have more photos to share soon so you won't miss out on watching the new arrivals grow.
