Monk’s Park is a large, flat, enclosed park nestled between houses and Orchard School Bristol in Northville.
Entrances to the park are on Lyddington Road, Pitlochry Close, Biddestone Road and Kenmore Crescent.
There are a children’s play area and many paved walkways, so easy for wheelchairs and pushchairs.
Richie's opinion :
" II’s a lovely, large and clean park with a well equipped playground.
It's great place to a good walk, a picnic, and the paved walkways are able to roller skateing.
It’s near to the Airbus so there’s lots of aeroplane themed art and play."

History
​
Monks Park takes its name from James Henry Monk, a nineteenth-century bishop of Gloucester and Bristol.
The first development in Monks Park took place in the 1930s.
Housing is mainly privately owned and semi-detached.
Southmead Hospital, Bristol's largest hospital, occupies the south west corner of the suburb.
There are two primary schools (Upper Horfield and St Teresa's RC) and Orchard School Bristol, formerly known as Monks Park School prior to 2009.
