Bristol

What it’s like

A free outdoor skatepark and BMX track next to a play park and multi-use games area on the same site.

Wheels are the main event here. There's a skatepark for boards and scooters, and a separate BMX track if your kid's more into pedals than trucks. Next to both is a play park for siblings who aren't ready for ramps yet, and a multi-use games area if anyone fancies a kickabout instead.

It's an outdoor site, so a dry afternoon is the better bet than a drizzly one. There's no booking system listed, which is the nice bit, you just turn up and see who else is about. That also means there's no way to check how busy it'll be before you leave the house.

Parking's free on site and there are accessible spaces near the main entrance, which is worth knowing if you're bringing a scooter and a toddler in a buggy at the same time. If you'd rather leave the car at home, Filton Abbey Wood station is about a 12 to 15 minute walk away, so it's reachable by train too.

There's a bike parking spot as well, handy if some of the group are on BMX and some are on foot.
