Free Daylight Parking for Porter Brook Waterside Trail
Porter Brook Trail Car Park is a small surface-level facility located off Fulwood Lane, serving hikers, cyclists, and nature enthusiasts accessing the Porter Brook Trail. The lot provides approximately 40 tarmac-surfaced bays, including two accessible spaces positioned near the trailhead entrance. Operating 7 am6 pm daily, parking is free of charge; no payment machines or permit registration are required. There is no CCTV coverage or lighting, so usage during daylight hours is recommended for safety. A well-marked footpath leads directly from the lot along Porter Brook, offering scenic waterside trails connecting to Fulwood Village and the end of Sheffield City Centre within a five-minute walk. No direct bus service serves this lot; users generally arrive by private car or bicycle. Covered cycle racks accommodating eight bicycles are provided near the entrance to encourage sustainable access. Seasonal line marking ensures proper parking alignment and prevents encroachment on pedestrian pathways.
