Free parking at Wilton Parks main entrance.
Wilton Park Car Park is a council-operated, tarmacked facility located at Wilton Park, Batley (WF17 8HZ), serving the public park and nearby sports fields. The lot holds approximately 100 vehicles, including six accessible bays near the main park entrance. Parking is free, but signage advises a 4-hour maximum stay to ensure turnover. LED lighting columns provide illumination from dusk until 22:00, and CCTV cameras monitor all aisles. A sealed footpath leads from the car park to Wilton Parks bandstand, formal gardens, and pond area (0.05 miles), popular with families and dog walkers. The asphalt surface was resurfaced in 2021, with bay markings repainted annually and speed bumps installed. Drainage channels around the perimeter prevent pooling during heavy rain. Regular patrols by Kirklees Council wardens and volunteer Friends of Wilton Park ensure it remains litter-free.
