@Charitynjw has suggested that the location may be covered by
Bristol City Council Byelaws for Pleasure Grounds, Public Walks and Open Spaces.
Having looked at them, it is inconclusive. Based on the information available, the car park at Horfield Leisure Centre is situated
adjacent to the
Dorian Road Playing Field, which is explicitly listed in Schedule 1 of the Bristol City Council Byelaws for Pleasure Grounds, Public Walks and Open Spaces. These byelaws apply to the grounds listed in Schedule 1, encompassing areas designated as pleasure grounds, public walks, and open spaces.
However, the byelaws do not provide detailed maps or precise boundaries of the areas they cover. Therefore, while the proximity of the car park to the Dorian Road Playing Field suggests potential inclusion, without specific boundary delineations, it is not possible to definitively confirm whether the car park falls within the area governed by the byelaws.
The document makes a single reference to boundary information in the heading of Schedule 1, which states:
“GROUNDS TO WHICH BYELAWS APPLY (Also refer to relevant map)”
This implies that a map exists (or existed at the time of the byelaws' adoption) to clarify the precise boundaries of the land covered. However, the PDF does not include this map, nor does it describe the boundaries in any further detail.
To obtain a conclusive determination, you would have to contact Bristol City Council directly. They can provide authoritative information regarding the exact boundaries of the byelaw-covered areas and clarify whether the car park at Horfield Leisure Centre is included within those boundaries.
