"You've gotta get yourself here at some point, and if you can, during the spring"
"I've only just moved out of Eastville but I'm already missing the park"
"A very large park popular with runners, could do with a little restoration, the lake is very nice and attracts all kinds of wildlife, I once even saw an otter though mallards, geese and swans are more common"
"A beautiful lake tucked away within the equally beautiful surroundings of Eastville Park"
"Great place for outdoor excercise in the middle of the city"
You've gotta get yourself here at some point, and if you can, during the spring. Only issue with the place is the Swans can be a bit horrible to the Geese, which I'm not a fan of. I'm also pretty sure I've done my part in training the crows to catch seeds and whatnot mid air. So take a bag down, get their attention and then throw them just in front of them, they will fly-catch them. The ducks kind of just hang around and don't cause any issue with everyone and thats really nice of them. Swans, Geese, Crows, Pigeons, Dogs, Ducks etc. all there and all friendly apart from the Geese, they can be a bit hissy at the best of times. Also one end of the pond collects all the bird waste but I'm no ecologist so I've no idea if that's a feature built into its design. Ice cream man also comes there sometime, which is nice.
I've only just moved out of Eastville but I'm already missing the park. If you want to clear your head, go for a stroll, have a heart-to-heart with someone with privacy, this is the park to go to. The top half of the park is quiet without feeling threatening. In the summer it's packed with wonderful people! The lake area has a good number of people walking, running, and sitting around the lake. I never got bored of it.
A very large park popular with runners, could do with a little restoration, the lake is very nice and attracts all kinds of wildlife, I once even saw an otter though mallards, geese and swans are more common. Lots of dog walkers. Unfortunately it's pretty close to where the M32 was built and it does cut through the park at the bottom. I wouldn't want to walk through it after dark but should be safe enough in the day.
A beautiful lake tucked away within the equally beautiful surroundings of Eastville Park. The lake hosts fishing within season whilst other areas set aside for wildlife conservation provide rich animal and plant life to naturalist and wildlife enthusiast alike. Well maintained footpaths allow for extensive access around the area with seating and picnic facilities throughout.
Great place for outdoor excercise in the middle of the city. You'd never guess the motorway junction is just a few yards away. Lots of wildlife on the lake (swans, cygnets, ducks,ducklings, terns,moorhens, herons). People also fish on the lake (occasionally). Highly recommended. Links with Eastville Park and on to snuff Mills.
Beautiful. There should be signs educating visitor's, to not throw bread into the lake where the mother birds are protecting their young. This only results in the aggressive seagulls to dive bomb to pick up the bread. There is a real risk that the hungry seagulls will take a chick if they get the chance
I love a walk round Eastville Park Lake. We walk down here from Stoke Park, 'cos I don't live in Easton no more ;-). It's a little piece of tranquility in the heart of the city. And the birds! Coots, moorhens, swans (mute), geese (Canadian), and a heron... ☺️
Most of the park is pretty grotty, but the area around the lake is very nice. It's also the start of the path that follows the river Frome all the way up to Frenchay which is well worth doing - it's odds on that you'll spot a kingfisher or two on the way.
Really nice place to come for walks with family and friends and your dog it's really quite and peaceful. There is a trail from eastville park to snuffmills and few other places me and my partner and son are having really nice walk about here
Quiet location, nice walks and good for taking your dog's for a walk. No car parking facilities here but there is public toilets. Nice scenic walk that leads into Snuff Mills and then onto Vassell Park.Relaxing. I would recommend this place.
Lots of wildlife in and around the lake. Swans and geese with cygnets and goslings in Spring. And look out for the heron that can be spotted on the island. A lovely place for a walk, run or cycle to feel like you are surrounded by nature
Home away from home. Friendly faces of the bird and human variety. Come often, but don't leave your trash. In fact, I have a new practice of using an extra dog poop bag to pick up a few pieces of other people's litter.
Eastville park is a good place to spend time. Near by frome river and amazing view. People spent time with family and friends. Historical place. There are boards to learn about history of the place. Spend good time.
Beautiful place to visit to feed the ducks or to take the children for the park itself. Great as well to cycle around as there lots of various places to explore and it's beautiful scenery to experience as well
Great walk around the lake, lots of ducks and swans in the lake. Nice open park area for picnic and kids to play. Great option for relaxing walk from eastvile Park to Oldbury Court or stokes Park Estate.
Beautiful lake with a wide variety of wildlife. Quite often a Grey Heron can be spotted on and around the lake. Very worth a visit and it would be much nicer if everyone took their rubbish home...
My favourite place to walk in Bristol. I love feeding the birds and sitting in the field nearby. A very serene area that always feels safe and family-friendly. It always looks very well tended to.
Very large park with large pond, including ducks, swans, moorhens, cootes great for kids & families. Benches & easy picnic spaces. Be careful of cyclists. A great place for the family.
I went to Eastville Park to go for a walk with a pro dog walker, Emma ,who sometimes uses that route. Even in wintertime it's a lovely lake with ducks, swans and the Eastville herons.
Always a lovely place to chill with family and friends and just watch nature as it happens. Sitting by the lake with a picnic you sorta forget you're living in a city.
I have not bin to this lake but I do like my nature and animals and wildlife so please enjoy this lovely place and take good care of it most importantly.
First time going to park in 43 years of my life lovely walk a missed gem by Bristolians for sure. Loved it the kingfisher was out for us as well x
It's OK. What else can I say. You could years ago hire canoes, boats etc. Be lucky to catch a fish there Nowadays. Good to sit by and chill out
Great urban Park with amazing bird life, kingfisher, herons, ducks swans and geese all frequent the lake and river frome which runs through.
Loads of wildlife to see on a lovely circular walk around the lake. A great place to go in summer or on a lovely sunny winter afternoon.
Lovely park, always a nice vibe and there are regular community events going on. There is a FB group you can join that'll have details
I absolutely love walking through here first thing in the morning. It's so peaceful and a joy to watch the birds in the lake.
This lake is a great place to visit, tucked away from the rest of the park. It is very cosy and full of a lot of wildlife.
Brilliant place to go for a walk plenty of wildlife swans ducks nice place to be out in the fresh air and sunshine …
I recommend to all this place that Swans make spectacles of people ❤️❤️❤️❤️ …
Beautiful park with lots of activities, scenic beauty and cafes to enjoy. the walking track never fails to impress
Plenty to di and see whether just wanting a stroll have a picnic or just relax by the lake watching the wild life
Brilliant place! Always a good place to come for photography, relaxing or playing games like Pokémon go! Love it!
A perfect day outdoors and very realistic and comfortable with that moment that makes you forget about the city.
We've enjoyed to look at the swans and the other animals in the lake. It was mostly calming for us …
Love Eastville Park the kids love the lake, its just another excuse for me to get camera out …
Lovely place for a walk round a run and you also have the footpath down the river which is a great walk
Amazing wildlife space situated close to the centre of Bristol. Lots to see and hear all year round.
It's a park in the middle of a big city. There's rubbish, seagulls, lots of people and more rubbish.
In Winter the lake freezes and you can iceskate and in summer the lake turns into a natural resort
I’ve come here to jog since I was a child, and I must say that the area always has been amazing.
seagulls are argumentative and greedy taking out bread out of duck's beaks terrible seagulls
Tranquil place to rest from the hustle and bustle of city easy access by walking and cycle.
One of my favourite places, feeding my soul and blessing my spirit since a small boy.
Perfect for a stroll. Enjoy the Herons, Cormorants and if you are lucky a Kingfisher.
Absolutely beautiful. So lovely to see so many families of birds enjoying the lake.
Beautiful autumn trees, lots of birds - too busy to see the otters or kingfishers.
Beautiful! I ran past here recently and it was frozen. Truly magical experience
Birds so friendly and calm, good to sit down and wondering around the lake.
Beautiful with light rain dancing on the lake and river, so refreshing.
Not particularly quiet because of the motorway but good place to visit
Loads of birds. Bring your camera as good place to practice birding.
Nice calm8ng place, one part for the ducks, swans and other wildlife
It's a lake within a park that's in Eastville. Says it all really.
