Does anyone know the best place to park for the pumptrack (Bristol). I want to take the kids there as it looks perfect for them (4 years old) but no idea where to park.

There's a couple of pay and display car parks on and around brunel lock road or there's the Ashton Court carpark (though likely to be busy on weekends). Both have reasonable off road access to the pump track, you'll just need to use a couple of pedetrian crossings to get onto cycle paths.
Brunel lock probably the easiest. A few hundred metres of cycle path to the pump track.
On a sunday easieat amd free round by the squiggly roads around the underfall yard and cumberland basin.
Beware that the new clean air zone is starting on the 28th and is likely to catch you out for most routes to nearby parking.
I did this at October half term. There are some small pay and display car parks under the Cumberland basin next to where the old posh cafe thing used to be. You then cut through across the metro bus bridge straight into the green area by the pump track. My little girl is 5 and she used her pedal bike like a balance bike round that track. She’s not quite confident enough pedalling yet to pedal round it / isn’t standing up on the pedal yet - but the bumps are a good size to mostly keep momentum up just using your feet.
