Village parking near Crofton shops and canal.
Crofton Car Park is a council-operated, tarmacked facility situated on Hare Park View, Crofton (WF4 1NG), serving the village centre and nearby recreation grounds. The lot accommodates approximately 60 vehicles, including four accessible bays adjacent to the footpath leading to the Crofton Branch Canal. Tariffs are £0.80 per hour, maximum stay 4 hours MondaySaturday 08:0018:00; Sundays are free. LED column lighting illuminates the site from dusk until 22:00, and CCTV cameras cover all entry and circulation aisles. A sealed footpath leads to local shops, the community centre (0.1 miles), and onward to Crofton Common nature reserve via waymarked trails. The surface was resurfaced in 2022 with bay markings repainted; drainage gullies along the perimeter prevent pooling during heavy rain. Regular patrols by Wakefield Council enforcement officers ensure compliance.
