Lakeside parking for Teardrop and Willen Lakes.

Be the first to review

Teardrop Lakes Car Park is a council-managed, gravel-reinforced lot situated at 30 Redland Drive in the Loughton area of Milton Keynes (MK5 8FB), serving both Teardrop and Willen Lakes. The facility holds approximately 100 vehicles, including 6 accessible bays located adjacent to the lakeside footpath. Parking is free for up to 3 hours; thereafter, a charge of £1.00 per hour applies Monday–Saturday 08:00–18:00 via pay-and-display machines. Sunday parking is free. No lighting is provided, so parking is daylight hours only (approx. 06:00–21:00 during summer). CCTV cameras monitor the entrance and main circulation zone during daytime hours. The compacted gravel surface is reinforced with stone grids to prevent rutting, and the lot is graded quarterly. A sealed footpath leads to the Teardrop Island promontory (0.2 miles), popular for water sports access and birdwatching hides. Signage details seasonal sailing regatta schedules and angling permit information—permit-required coarse fishing is available on Teardrop Lake. Drainage channels run along the northern perimeter to prevent flooding, and a volunteer ranger patrols on weekends to assist visitors and enforce lake regulations.
