Five caravans and four cars make up the encampment in the centre of Diglis Playing Fields.
The travellers arrived at the field at about 9pm last night (Wednesday, June 21), according to eyewitnesses.
Worcester City Council said it is aware of the situation and working with the police to find a resolution.
