Covering roughly 25.5 acres (10.3 ha) beside the River Avon, it provides formal sports pitches, a bowling green, children's play spaces and a small nature garden. The park is managed by Bristol City Council in partnership with the community group Friends of Greville Smyth Park (FROGS).

Background
History
In 1881, Sir John Greville Smyth of the neighbouring Ashton Court estate gifted 21.5 acre of meadowland to the city "for the health and recreation of the inhabitants of Bedminster". Laid out by the council in 1883, the ground was first called The People's Park, though locals also used the name Ashton Park. Following the death of Sir John Greville Smyth in 1901, Lady Emily Greville Smyth added a further 4 acre on 23 June 1902, requesting that the site thereafter bear the family name. The council accepted, officially adopting the title Greville Smyth Park.
