A war relic in a corner of the park
In WWII Page Park was selected for the construction of an air raid shelter in 1939. It is now used as a store. Records show that bombing was a rare experience in Staple Hill, but two children were killed in the big Bristol raid of November, 1940.

A popular place for visitors to enjoy a little relaxation.
"Page Park is an early-20th-century public park laid out to a formal design and bordered by evenly spaced trees. There is a clock tower shelter at the centre of the park, flowerbeds, a bowling green and a tennis court.
The park was formerly part of the Hill House estate. It was given to the public in 1909 by A.W. Page and laid out over the next few years."
