Upgrade Your Play! 

The Upgrade Your Play campaign is the Bristol Parks, Recreation, Youth and Community Services (BPRYCS) Department’s latest endeavor in its mission of delivering high quality facilities to our residents. The department recently installed an entirely new playground, that the community picked out, at Stocks Playground at Casey Field, as well as an array of new swings at Federal Hill Green. 

Many residents responded with hopes of new playground equipment at their closest neighborhood playgrounds…. well, we heard you and we’re ready to Upgrade your Play! 

Plans are underway for upgraded playgrounds at:
  - Seymour Park
  - Wilson Park
  - Peck Park
  - Federal Hill Green and Riordan Playground 

Seymour Park

Seymour Park was acquired through the  estate of George Dudley Seymour in 1971. Seymour Park is located next to the Barnes Nature Center.

Peck Park

Land for the park was transferred from the Board of Education to the city in 1976. Developed and constructed through Community Development funding and completed in 1977, the park has an established trust fund to cover maintenance under the will of Constant Y. Peck. The entrance to the park is located off of Daley Street, with additional parking off Pine Street through Greene-Hills School.
