Free countryside parking for Brindley Heath Country Parkdonations welcomed.
Nine Gates Car Park is a council-managed surface facility located off Brindley Heath Road, serving the Brindley Heath recreational area and nature reserve. The gravel-and-tarmac lot accommodates around 100 vehicles, including three Blue Badge bays near the main entrance. Open from dawn to dusk year-round, there is no charge for parking; a donation box supports local conservation efforts. There is no lighting or CCTV, so visitors are advised to arrive and depart during daylight hours. Pathways lead directly into the Brindley Heath Country Park, popular for walking, mountain biking, and wildlife observation. Signage at the entrance provides maps and trail information.
