The park offers a tennis court, a multi-use games area with a basketball court and football pitch, four full-sized football pitches, a bowls green, a main playground with exciting equipment, a youth shelter, and various exercise equipment.

The Friends of Tothill Park group organizes and takes part in a range of activities throughout the year to support the maintenance and care of the park. They are always looking for new members to join them in their mission to keep the park special for everyone.
The origin of the name Tothill is uncertain, but one explanation suggests it comes from the Saxon word 'Totaern' meaning 'lookout hill'. This could refer to the high ground in the area, which was ideal for spotting potential invaders. Another possibility is a reference to a place called 'Totwell' in the vicinity of Plymouth.
Tothill Park is a good-sized park in the St Judes area of Plymouth, offering amenities such as a tennis court, play area, bowling green, and a community center. It is connected to National Cycle Network 27 and provides a lovely spot for dog walks and picnics.
Visitors have praised Tothill Park for being well-maintained, dog-friendly, and peaceful. They appreciate the variety of amenities such as tennis courts, playgrounds, and football pitches. The park is described as a great place for children and families to enjoy.
