Westport Lake Play Area

The main lake at Westport Lake is the largest body of water in the city. The site also has a smaller lake, grassland, and a woodland conservation area. Westport Lake is well known for its water birds and is popular with walkers and anglers.

The site was designated as a Local Nature Reserve in July 2004. There is also a children's play area, with an array of exciting play equipment. Coming soon! A new environmental visitor's centre.

Admission:

Free!   

Opening Times: 

Westport Lake is open every day, there is 24 hour pedestrian access, and the car park is open 8am to dusk.


    Our friendly cafe offers a wide range of hot and cold snacks and drinks, which can be enjoyed inside or outside on the lakeside balcony
    The lake and surrounding grounds, which are looked after by Stoke-on-Trent City Council, are ideal for a stroll. There is a good, level footpath of around one mile around the lake, and a health walk around the conservation area
    There is a regular programme of family activities at the visitor centre during the school holidays. See the What's On page for details.
    Look out for wildlife - Westport Lake is an important overwintering site for many water birds and unusual species are known to stop-off at the lake during migration. The conservation area at the northern end of the site is home to many animals including kingfishers and dragonflies
    There is a children's play area by the visitor centre, which is managed by Stoke-on-Trent City Council
