Since March, we know how vital our green spaces have been for everyone for maintaining health and wellbeing 🌿
 
We are so pleased therefore, that during this next lockdown, we are able to keep Hillworth Park and all play areas across town open. Sadly, we will have to close the tennis courts and the outdoor gym equipment will also be taken out of service.
 
The Cafe in Hillworth Park remains open for takeaways, so please do pop up and grab a coffee! The outdoor toilets will also remain open during the day, which we know will be important for so many.
 
The new rules state that you can exercise in a public outdoor place:
* By yourself.
* With the people you live with.
* With your support bubble (if you are legally permitted to form one).
* In a childcare bubble where providing childcare.
* When on your own, with 1 person from another household.
 
To keep everyone, including our wonderful Cafe and Parks and Open Spaces teams safe, please observe the above at all times.
 
Thank you,
 
Devizes Town Council

Hillworth Park is often described as the ‘hidden gem’ of Devizes.  Nestling between Hillworth Road and Queens Road the park has an interesting history, starting life as a private landscaped garden and only coming into public ownership in 1945.

The park has been transformed, with a contemporary, fresh, look it is now even more of a gem, but rather than being hidden, it is shouting “I’m here, come and enjoy me”.  Please do.

With its high roof clad in cedar shingles, wooden screens and sustainable construction, the Park Centre is a beautiful addition to the park.

The design compliments the nearby 18th Century Garden Pavilion and along with the water feature, planting, and views of the park this makes a lovely place to sit, relax, and enjoy the ambience.

There are wardens dedicated to looking after the park, say hello if you see them; if you would like to speak to them and they are not in the park then you’ll probably find them in the park office.
