Description: As of summer 2020, most of the car parks around Cuerden Valley now have ANPR cameras or have been closed. This is due to the high publicity of cruising and complaints! The small carpark used to be the crusiest but access to vehicles has now been restricted. Access by foot is still open and parking is very close by. Most park at the back of B&Q on Nook Lane. Sometimes fun still happens in Cuerden Park, once you park up behind B&Q, cross the road, enter Cuerden, and head towards the lake. Just linger around, there are plenty of discreet spots. However, most of the fun happens at the back of the B&Q now. No cameras and no yellow lines. There is a woodland area between the delivery entrance of B&Q and the main road with a few access areas. Most people will sit in their cars, walk off into the woods, and expect to be followed.
Please remember that Cuerden is a public park with dog walkers and joggers. At the back of B&Q is a small industrial estate with traffic in and out. The main road is very close by and sometimes police do spot checks. As always be responsible and discreet.
ANPR camera and pay machine had been removed when visited on 21/04/24. Not sure if this is a permanent removal or just temporary.
