'Plans for new £376,000 visitors' centre welcomed by residents' - Park Hall Country Park, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England, UK. - News Article Locations on Waymarking.com

Park Hall Country Park is one of the city's most important natural sites. It was declared as Stoke-on-Trent's only National Nature Reserve in 2002, and the sandstone canyons are a Site of Special Scientific Interest for their geology.

"Park Hall Country Park covers an area of over 135 hectares and has a varied landscape of sandstone canyons, open heathland, hay meadows, deciduous and coniferous woodland and wetland areas.
Just under one third of the Country Park is designated as a geological Site of Special Scientific Interest and National Nature Reserve, which is known as Hulme Quarry.
The whole site is owned by Stoke-on-Trent City Council and managed by the City Council’s countryside staff."
The site is 'open access' on foot to all and is a popular site with dog walkers and cyclists. There are numerous waymarked paths and trails across the site, that offer both easy and more challenging walks. Source: (visit link)

The visitor centre at the main car park (coordinates given) was destroyed by fire in 2011, but plans to build a new £376,000 visitors’ centre at the city beauty spot were displayed to the public for consultation in September 2017.
The new centre will have a training and community room, a kiosk for serving refreshments, and improved security to deter vandals.
A report about this was written for The Sentinel Online by Matt Jackson - 23st September 2017.
