Mundy Playing Fields

Mundy Playing Fields, Kington Lane, Thornbury, Bristol, BS35 1NA

This large green space was given to the Town by Violet Mundy in 1943 and has been used and cherished by the residents ever since. Today, it includes football pitches, tennis courts, a pavilion which can be hired for children’s birthday parties and meetings, a splash pad installed in 2014 and extensive play area which received an £85,000 refurbishment in 2018. This refurbishment saw the installation of many new pieces of equipment including swings, climbing equipment and trampolines. The top of the field contains some outdoor gym equipment suitable for adults and young people aged 14 and over.

The addition of the Poulterbrook field saw an increased area available for sports use and the planting of several young Oak trees, to help add character to the area for years to come. Recently installed was a picnic area and wild flower patch which helps promote increased biodiversity whilst providing a quiet and peaceful area for a picnic.

During opening hours, there is a public toilet block available with disabled access and baby changing. There is a car park at the far end of the field which provides free parking and during the summer, you may be lucky enough to find an ice cream van! The car park and toilets are usually open between 9am and 8pm in the summer, and shorter hours through the winter. Please check signage on arrival for closing times.

The fields are home each year to Thornbury Carnival, organised by the voluntary Carnival Committee and also the firework display organised by Thornbury Roundtable. Parkrun takes place on a Saturday morning at 9am and is ‘free, forever, for everyone’.
