Free lay-by parking for Grimethorpe industrial area
Park Spring Road Parking is a free council-managed tarmac lay-by located on the A6195, serving the Grimethorpe area of Barnsley and local industrial estates. The unmarked facility accommodates approximately 25 vehicles on a first-come, first-served basis; it operates 24 hours with no overnight restrictions. There is no lighting or CCTV; visitors are advised to park during daylight. Pedestrian access leads to nearby bus stops on Park Spring Road (0.05 km) and a footpath connecting to Grimethorpe Colliery Band heritage site (1 km). Benches are positioned near the lot perimeter overlooking semi-industrial business parks. Seasonal shift changes in adjacent factories can cause peak occupancy; signage directs drivers to the alternative Upton Lane lay-by (1 km). Maintenance crews clear litter monthly and inspect surface drainage quarterly.
