New parking system at Warwickshire's country parks means you will soon not have to book online

A new pay and display system being brought to four of Warwickshire's county parks means visitors will soon not have to book and pay in advance online.

From August 10, visitors Kingsbury, Ryton Pools, Hartshill and Pooley Country Parks will be able to buy parking tickets from new cashless machines which will be installed in the car parks.

Money generated from the car parking charges is invested in maintaining and improving the parks and their facilities.

Warwickshire County Councillor Heather Timms, Portfolio Holder for Environment and Heritage & Culture said: “We are committed to making it easy for our residents to get out and enjoy Warwickshire’s Country Parks by making them as accessible as possible.

"So, we are moving away from the online booking system for entry into four of our parks and installing cashless pay and display machines.

"This means that visitors can now simply turn up and buy a ticket without having to book online first."

Frequent visitors will still be able to buy parking permits to save some money.
