Hanley Park offers a wide range of facilities including a restored Pavillion, Boathouse, sports zone for various activities, bandstand, crown green bowling green, fishing, lake, fountains, sensory play area, children's play zone, and public art sculptures.
The restoration project at Hanley Park was funded by a successful bid for £4.5 million from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and The National Lottery Community Fund in 2015. The project aimed to restore the park's historic features and attract more park users of all ages.
In October 2020, Hanley Park was awarded Green Flag status and recognized nationally as a quality green public space by the charity Keep Britain Tidy.
The Boathouse at Hanley Park is available for hire all year round and can accommodate meetings/conferences of up to 50 attendees and social events for up to 100 guests. It is also an ideal location for intimate champagne & afternoon tea wedding receptions.
