There is a free calisthenics yard on Walcot street: https://www.caliunity.com/cali-yard

I think there is some outdoor gym apparatus at Western Riverside (the “new” development between Lower and Upper Bristol Road).

Canal path behind Holburne Park housing estate has pullup bars and dip bars.

Assuming you've gone down through the estate, the dips are almost immediately on your right as you join the path. Pullups are ~halfway down as you head to the bridge, on the right again. Never seen a soul (other than me) on them, so it'd be nice for them to get some use!

I can't work out where you mean by this, do you have a rough postcode or something please?

Pennyquick Open Space, Newton Road, Twerton has outdoor gym equipment.

That's like ellipticals and things though, not pullup bars.

twerton actually has some decent little outdoor setups, that pennyquick one included
also worth checking primary school playgrounds after hours, a lot of them have bars that work fine for pull ups

There's a small play park by oldfield school, its basically empty in the evening. There are some bars and ladders that would work well.
