Free Parking for Gun Park Sports & Recreation Facilities
Gun Park Car Park is a large surface-level facility located off Sheffield Road in the Kimberworth Park area, serving Gun Park recreational fields, local sports clubs, and childrens play areas. The gravel-surfaced lot accommodates approximately 150 vehicles, including six accessible spaces near the main entrance gate. Operating daily from 7 am to 8 pm, parking is free; no payment machines or permits are required. No CCTV coverage or lighting is provided, so daytime visits are advised. A paved footpath leads directly to Gun Parks football pitches, BMX track, and childrens playground within a two-minute walk. Informational boards at the entrance detail sports schedules, field bookings, and community events. Local bus stops on Sheffield Road provide frequent services to Rotherham City Centre and Barnsley. EV charging is not available on-site; the nearest rapid charger is at Rotherham Interchange Car Park, a 15-minute drive away. Covered cycle racks accommodating up to eight bicycles are provided near the playground entrance to encourage families to cycle. Seasonal gravel grading and pothole repairs ensure safe, stable ground conditions.
