About Bucknall Park
Bucknall Park is a public park in Bucknall, on the eastern side of Stoke-on-Trent, managed by Stoke-on-Trent City Council and sitting alongside the River Trent. It is a green, semi-natural park that mixes open recreation with a pretty woodland walk, giving families both playtime and space to explore. The main draw for children is the play area, which has equipment including swings and climbing structures, set within the wider park. Nearby there is a light outdoor workout and fitness area for older children and adults, along with tennis courts and bowling greens of various sizes for more organised games. A lovely small woodland path winds through part of the park, following the river and offering a quieter, nature-rich route for walks. Since 2024 a city farm has opened that can be accessed via Bucknall Park, adding a free animal attraction to a visit. The Friends of Bucknall Park community group actively supports the park, working to bring visitors back and raise funds for a new play area for young people, a sensory garden and better use of buildings on site. As a free, open green space with a riverside setting, Bucknall Park is a welcoming local destination for families, walkers and sports players alike.
