Parks and Green Spaces in Cheltenham

Cheltenham’s green spaces range from Pittville Park, Montpellier Gardens and Imperial Gardens to neighbourhood playing fields, allotments, bowling greens and quiet churchyards. This page maps every one of them inside the borough, drawn to its real outline, so you can see what is on your doorstep and how far each ward’s green space stretches.

The map shades each site by type: parks and gardens, sports grounds and playing fields, play spaces, allotments, and cemeteries and churchyards. Click a site to see its size and how many ways in it has, or use the tables below to compare wards and find the largest spaces. Each ward’s own page, such as Pittville or Oakley, lists the parks in and around it, and the Cheltenham wards page compares them all.

Heading out with children? Our play parks page lists every named playground with directions. For a run, Cheltenham parkrun is held in Pittville Park, and the cycle routes map shows how to reach them by bike.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Green Space Is There in Cheltenham?

  • Ordnance Survey maps 214 publicly accessible or recreational green spaces in the borough, covering 366 hectares, or 7.9% of its land. 31 of them are public parks and gardens, together 70 hectares.

Which Ward Has the Most Green Space?

  • Pittville, where green space covers 29.8% of the ward (47.9 hectares), the largest named site being Pittville Park. The table above compares all 20 wards.

Where Are the Allotments in Cheltenham?

Why Isn't the Countryside Around Cheltenham Included?

  • The map covers sites set aside for recreation, such as parks, sports grounds, allotments and churchyards, inside Cheltenham borough. Open countryside, commons, woodland and footpaths aren't part of this dataset, and nor are green spaces just over the borough boundary.

Why Are Some Sites Unnamed?

  • Ordnance Survey only names a site when it has a recognised name, so many playing fields, play spaces and churchyards are listed by their type and ward instead. Click the map pin to see exactly where one is.

About This Data

Data from Ordnance Survey, OS Open Greenspace (release 2026-04), published under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Last updated 31 October 2026, checked monthly. Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database right 2026. Ordnance Survey updates this dataset twice a year. Sites are placed in the ward that holds their centre, and areas are measured from the mapped outlines. Golf courses, school and club sports grounds are included but may not be open to the public.
