Queens Park - Added to Parks and Recreation in Stoke-on-Trent, West Midlands

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:

Longton Park, officially named Queen's Park, was established in 1887 on 45 acres donated by the Duke of Sutherland to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee. It was designed by the Duke's land agent, John H. Garrett, and was the first public park in the Potteries, officially opening in 1888. The park's design from the 1880s remains largely unchanged, making it a good example of a late Victorian municipal park.
The park is a family park with a large play area, tennis courts and open grassland, also a band stand, central cafe and 2 lakes with lots of wildlife.

TOAL in the middle of the large grassed area. The park is not overly busy but use your judgement to determine if the area is 'too' busy for flying.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 06/11/2025. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location. Landowner permission may be required before taking off.
