Hanley Park

"I will recommend to visit and go for a nice walk around in the park. There is lovely small lake and pond, play ground, bridge above the river. I was delighted with the greenery in this place at this time of the year. I seem crocuses, snowdrops, some other early blooming flowers. Some people used to sit on the ground and made a picnic with friends. This place has plenty of beautiful trees and birds, walking trails. Just come and see."

"Beautiful Victorian Park. A jewel of Stoke of Trent, Spotlessly clean, well maintained with modern toilet facilities and a lovely cafe in the old pavilion. Plenty of space to walk around and explore, and multiple different play areas for the kids. Also a lovely football area, people paying basketball and cricket as well."

"It is a beautiful place for hanging out, walking, and playing for young people . Fresh air, the environment makes the mind fresh. People who live near the park usually come regularly for their refreshment. Such a beautiful place. Highly recommend."

"Hanley Park is one of the city's heritage parks. It is close to both the City Centre and the railway station. Its facilities include the restored Pavillion Cafe; a restored Boathouse; an all weather, floodlit sports zone for cricket, football, basketball, hockey and tennis; restored bandstand; crown green bowling green; fishing; lake and fountains; sensory play area; children's play zone; and public art sculptures. The park has undergone a multi-million pound restoration following a successful bid for £4.5 million from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and The National Lottery Community Fund in 2015 to restore the park’s historic features and attract more park users of all ages. The 60-acre park, which opened in 1897, has had its bandstand restored, the main pavilion reinstated as a café and its boathouse brought back to life along with a whole raft of other improvements. In October 2020, the park was awarded Green Flag status and recognised nationally as a quality green public space by the charity Keep Britain Tidy.
