Sale Water Park - Added to Lakes and Reservoirs in North West

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

Land owner permission requirements unknown.

There is free parking at the visitor centre in the water park (M33 2LX). The pin shows my take-off point, a field with rough grass which can either be flattened, or there are paths that provide space. To the east there is a well-trimmed field, but this is used by Parkway Model Flying Club, who don't like drones, judging from their signs.

Main hazards are overhead power lines and dog walkers. Some of the area around the water park is a nature reserve.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 15/08/2020. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.
