Introduction
St. Agnes' Park is a late-19th century municipal park.
St. Agnes' Park is laid out in two separate sections. The eastern, smaller section is taken up largely by a children's playground area. The western section is much larger and has a large open grass area. This is bordered by some well-stocked shrubberies and rockeries. Paved footpaths run around the open central area, flanked with mature trees, mainly London plane. This section of the park is bordered on three sides by residential housing, and by a tall hedge on its eastern side. It has a pond in the north-eastern corner.
St. Agnes' Park is maintained by the Parks Department of Bristol City Council. The grass is cut regularly and the park is kept clean and tidy.
