About Stand Road Park
Stand Road Park is a public park at Whittington Moor on the northern side of Chesterfield, owned and managed by Chesterfield Borough Council and free to enter. The park is well set up for children and young people of different ages. A play space refurbishment completed in 2024 created a modern play area with equipment for all age groups, including inclusive equipment designed for use by children with disabilities. Older children are catered for with a multi-use games court and a skateboard park, while football pitches and a pavilion support organised and informal sport. There is a free car park on site for visitors. As a community park it sits within a residential neighbourhood and is a popular everyday destination for local families, offering a good balance of younger play, active sport and wheeled activities in one place. With its recent investment in play facilities, Stand Road Park provides an accessible and varied space for play, exercise and community use in the Whittington Moor area of Chesterfield.
