Stronger together
We work alongside volunteers, businesses and other community groups in the area, such as the Beehive Centre, Meadow Vale Community Centre, The Spark Space and The Haven.
Together, we look for ways in which we can collaborate on issues of local interest such as the use and upkeep of St George’s Park, or address local concerns such as pollution and traffic.
Most recently, we have joined forces with two local groups, who share our aspirations for the St George community and are delighted to welcome them as part of the St George Community Association.
We are always interested to hear from local people and other groups so please get in touch (email link stgeorgecommunitycentre@gmail.com) if you would like to find out more about our work.
Play in St. George Park
Play in St George Park is a community-led project to redevelop the play area within Bristol’s St George Park.
The John Deasy Play Area in St George Park is aged and worn, with equipment already removed that could not be repaired any longer. This much-loved facility is used routinely by the community of BS5, but the few items available to play on means lots of families often need to queue to use them, especially the slide and swings! There’s currently no equipment for children aged 7 -14yrs and so the area stops being used by those families as your child grows past the age of 6yrs. There’s also poor surfacing and poor accessible equipment, further restricting its use.
