About Hartshill Park
Hartshill Park is a well-established community park in Oakengates that opened in July 1927 as the Oakengates Recreation and Sports Ground before being renamed. Today it holds Green Flag status, marking it as one of the best-managed green spaces in the borough. For families the centrepiece is an equipped play area catering for children aged 3 to 14, offering a mix of play for both younger and older kids. The park also has a strong sports offer, with two small-sided football pitches, two floodlit all-weather tennis courts and an outdoor gym for free informal exercise. A bandstand is a reminder of the park's traditional character and is used for community events. The surrounding green space is pleasant for walking and relaxing, and the park is free to enter, making it an easy local destination for a play session or a kick-about. Visitors should note that details such as on-site toilets and parking are not confirmed on the council listing, so it is worth checking locally before a longer visit.
