Park Hall Country Park is home to a variety of wildlife. There are a number of paths around the site, offering both easy and more challenging walks. And the park is very popular with dog walkers and fishermen use the lower pools. Picnic tables and barbeques are also available.
The sandstone canyons and heathlands are important nesting sites for kestrels and little owls and sand martins breed nearby. The heathland and woodlands provide a habitat for short-eared owls, skylarks, meadow pipits and partridge and the gorse is valuable for linnets. A number of unusual beetles inhabit the damp, sandy areas including the green tiger beetle.
The Visitor Centre has displays of wildlife and geology, an interactive computer, information on recent wildlife sightings and a small shop where you can buy bird boxes from the Centre for approximately £4 each.
During the winter (October - March) the Visitor Centre is open on Thursday and Friday between 9.30am and 4pm and on Saturday and Sunday between 9am and 4pm. Special events are held on a regular basis. These are advertised at the Visitor Centre, in the local press and in public buildings. Park Hall Country Park covers a large area in Weston Coyney, in the south east of the city. Buses run along Park Hall Road and Weston Road and the park is a short walk from these roads. There are car parks at the Visitor Centre off Hulme Road, further down off Hulme Road and off Weston Road. Some car parks have height barriers.
