Golden Hill has some great spots for sports and outdoor fun.
Football and Cricket Grounds
The famous football club, Bristol Rovers, uses a pitch here for practice. However, it was closed for maintenance in 2016. These fields are actually owned by Redland High School for Girls.
There's another playing field on Wimbledon Road. This field is used by Golden Hill Sports Ltd. This group is a registered charity (number 1118954). They run the YMCA Cricket Club and the Golden Hill Sports Football Club.
Fun Activities for Kids
Golden Hill Sports Ltd also organizes special activity days for children. These happen during school holidays. They also host many social events throughout the year for the community.
Local Shops and Community
Golden Hill is home to a large supermarket that helps serve the community.
The Tesco Store
A big Tesco store was built in 1993. It was built on what used to be a playing field. This field belonged to Bristol Grammar School for many years. Building the store was not popular with everyone. Some local people protested against it. Plans to make the store even bigger are currently being looked at.
