Town-green space for play and a picnic / MONMOUTH

Chippenham Fields and Play Area

Use Chippenham Fields as a breathing space between Monmouth’s historic streets and a meal. The town green and play area make it especially useful for children who have spent time looking at buildings or museum displays. Choose a patch of open space and a comfortable play session rather than treating the wider riverside and sports areas as a compulsory walking circuit.

Before you go

Use the current play-area location near Blestium Street, opposite the rear of Waitrose. Leave pitches and organised sports areas clear when they are in use.

The practical details

Where to find it: Chippenham Fields and Blestium Street play area, Monmouth, Monmouthshire

Tickets and booking: Ordinary park and play-area access is free. Respect event notices, dog restrictions and temporary works; food, parking and organised activities are separate.
Access and getting around: The play area includes inclusive equipment, but individual items, approach paths and grass conditions vary. Check temporary works and use a suitable surfaced approach; inclusive provision does not mean every activity suits every visitor.
Official access information ↗
Visiting with children: Choose age-appropriate equipment and supervise near roads, water and sports activity. It is a good place for a planned break rather than an exhausted last stop.
