Free Parking for Charnock Road Fields & Sports Hub
Charnock Park Car Park is a surface-level facility located at the end of Carter Hall Lane, serving Charnock Road playing fields and community amenities in the Sothall area. The car park offers approximately 80 tarmac-surfaced bays, including four accessible spaces positioned near the main pedestrian entrance to the sports pavilion. Operating daily from 6 am to 10 pm, parking is free for park users; there are no pay-and-display machines. CCTV cameras monitor entry, exit, and key aisles during operating hours; LED bollard lighting lines footpaths to ensure safe pedestrian access after dusk. A paved walkway leads directly into the playing fields, outdoor gym, and childrens playground within a two-minute walk. Local bus stops on Sothall Green Road provide frequent services to Sheffield City Centre and Rotherham. EV charging is not available on-site; the nearest rapid charger is at Manor Fields Park Car Park, a 15-minute drive away. Covered cycle racks accommodating up to ten bicycles are provided near the pavilion entrance to promote eco-friendly travel to leisure activities. Seasonal maintenance ensures clear line markings and a well-drained, pothole-free surface.
