Hanley Park, Urban park in Stoke-on-Trent, England
The 63-acre green space features a pavilion, two footbridges across the Caldon Canal, a lake with fountains, and multiple sports facilities.
The park, designed by landscape architect Thomas Hayton Mawson, opened in 1897 after transforming a waste ground called Stoke Fields at a cost of £70,000.
The pavilion, completed in 1896 by architect Dan Gibson, stands as the central feature, complemented by a bandstand gifted by local pottery owner George Howson.
The park provides 24-hour pedestrian access, sports zones with tennis courts, cricket facilities, and three distinct children's play areas including a sensory zone.
The lake at the southwest end connects to the Caldon Canal and features a word sculpture containing poetic inscriptions near its waters.
