Monks Park

Monks Park is a residential neighbourhood situated north of Bristol's city centre, bordered by Southmead to the northwest and Filton to the northeast. The area is characterised by post-war housing, primarily consisting of terraced and semi-detached homes built from the 1950s onwards. It serves as a practical and affordable residential zone for the city, with local amenities focused along nearby Gloucester Road and Filton Avenue. The housing layout is functional, with numerous cul-de-sacs and straightforward street patterns.

The community is served by several local schools and has good public transport links into the centre. A notable local feature is the presence of the former Monks Park Nursery site, a large green space that has been a focus for community-led initiatives and discussions regarding its future use. Open areas include Monks Park Open Space and the grounds of the nearby St. Peter's Church, providing recreational space. The area's identity is closely linked to its mid-20th century development period and its position between larger districts.
