Hartshill Park

Hartshill Park is a well-loved park in the residential area of Oakengates, it was officially opened in July 1927. The park was designed by Commander BT Coote with money provided by the Miner’s Welfare fund. The park is typical of similar welfare grounds of the period. The park was originally a colliery spoil tip leveled to create a recreational space.
