Silverdale Country Park

22/06/2026

☀️ With the warm weather, we know it can be tempting to cool off in the lakes and ponds at our country parks, but please remember that swimming is not permitted.

Open water can be extremely dangerous, even on hot days. Hidden hazards, sudden drops, cold water temperatures, and underwater debris can all pose serious risks.

Please help us keep everyone safe by staying out of the water and supervising children closely near the water’s edge.

If you see anyone swimming in the lakes or ponds, please contact the police on 101. If someone appears to be in difficulty or there is an immediate danger to life, call 999 and ask for the Fire Service.

Thank you for helping us keep our parks safe and enjoyable for everyone. 💚

🌿 Important Notice 🌿

As we head into Summer, we’d like to remind visitors that swimming is NOT permitted at any of our sites and to take precautions to prevent fires, helping us protect both people and the natural environment.

During dry conditions, our green spaces and wildlife are more vulnerable, so we kindly ask everyone to take extra care when visiting:
❌ Please don’t enter the water
❌ Do not use BBQs
❌ Do not light bonfires or campfires
🔥 Report any signs of fire by calling 999

These actions help safeguard local habitats, protect wildlife, and keep our spaces safe for everyone to enjoy. The wellbeing of our visitors and the natural environment is always our priority, so please plan ahead and take care during hot weather.

For weather updates, visit the Met Office website.

We are very sorry to hear about the recent reports of anti-social behaviour at the park and understand the concern this has caused for residents and visitors who use and enjoy the space regularly.

Please be assured that we have now reported the incident to Staffordshire Police. However, further reports from members of the public are extremely important, as they help the police build a clearer picture of the issues being experienced and can lead to increased PCSO patrols in the area.

If you witness any incidents, please report them using the Staffordshire Police online 101 form below:

🌊 Please stay out of lakes, rivers and open water
🚮 Take all rubbish home with you and help keep our parks beautiful for everyone

A gentle reminder for all visitors to Silverdale Country Park 🌿

To help keep everyone safe and protect the park’s habitats, please make sure you follow the signage showing where horse riding is permitted.

Some areas of the park are not suitable for horses, and sticking to the designated routes helps:

Keep riders and walkers safe
Protect wildlife and sensitive habitats
Prevent damage to paths and green spaces

If you’re unsure, just check the signs around the park - they’re there to guide you.

Thank you for helping us look after Silverdale Country Park for everyone to enjoy 💚

As the weather warms up, just a reminder that fires and BBQs aren’t allowed on the reserves 🔥

Even small flames can spread quickly in dry grass and leaf litter, putting wildlife and habitats at risk.

If you’re heading out, please take all your litter home with you too 🚯 It helps keep these spaces safe and enjoyable for everyone.

Thanks for helping look after the reserves 🌿

This Earth Day, we’re focusing on what matters most: protecting the nature that lives and breathes across our reserves 🌿

From woodlands and wetlands to grasslands full of wildlife, these places depend on careful stewardship - and on the people who visit, volunteer, and support them.

We all have a role in caring for our green spaces. Every visit, every bit of care, every decision to protect green space makes a difference.

Happy Earth Day!🌍
