Gaunts Ham Park, known locally as Lincoln Park, is a public urban park and playground located on Lincoln Street in the Lawrence Hill area of Bristol, England. Covering approximately 0.6 hectares (1.5 acres), it serves as a green space for the densely populated inner-city wards of Barton Hill and St Philip's. The site is designated by Bristol City Council as a Local Historic Park and Garden. Originally part of the medieval estate of Gaunt's Hospital, the land was acquired by the Bristol Corporation following the dissolution of the monasteries. Prior to its designation as a public space, the site was utilised for coal mining and agriculture. It was established as a municipal recreation ground in the late 19th century to serve the growing working-class population, with a formal layout designed by the Corporation Surveyor George Culley Ashmead. The park's landscape is characterised by mature London plane trees and includes modern amenities such as a multi-use games area and play equipment. Throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, the park has been the subject of various redevelopment schemes and has frequently been a focal point for community safety initiatives, that have aimed to mitigate anti-social behaviour and drug-related crime.

It is 1.0 mile (1.6 km) from Bristol Temple Meads. Its three letter station code is LWH. The station has two platforms, four running lines and minimal facilities. It is managed by Great Western Railway, the seventh company to be responsible for the station and the third franchise since privatisation in 1997. They provide all train services at the station, the standard service being two trains per hour along the Severn Beach Line and an hourly service between Bristol Temple Meads and Filton Abbey Wood. The station was opened in 1863 by the Bristol and South Wales Union Railway, with a single track and platform. The line was doubled in 1874 when the Clifton Extension Railway opened, then expanded to four tracks and platforms in 1891. There were buildings on all platforms and a goods yard to the west. Service levels reduced significantly over the second half of the twentieth century. The goods facilities were closed in 1965, staff were withdrawn in 1967 and the eastern two platforms were taken out of service by 1974. The line is due to be electrified as part of the 21st-century modernisation of the Great Western Main Line, which will also see the addition of two new running lines to increase capacity. Service frequency will be improved as part of the Greater Bristol Metro scheme.
