Stoneycroft Park

Stoneycroft Park sits just outside Leicester and serves as a proper sports facility rather than a tourist attraction in the traditional sense. It's the sort of place you'd come if you're already staying locally and fancy a game or two, not a destination in itself.

The park functions as a multi-use sports ground where you can play everything from football to cricket depending on the season and what's been booked. It's functional rather than fancy - the kind of venue that gets used by local clubs and school groups throughout the year. If you're the active type and your holiday park accommodation is nearby (Mallory Meadows and The Paddocks are both under two miles away), it's worth knowing the place exists. Families with kids keen on organised sports or a casual kickabout will find the space useful.

The limitation, honestly, is that unless you're specifically coming to play something, there's not much to hold your attention. It's not a spectator destination and there's no real facility for just turning up for a wander around. Check ahead about what's available when you're visiting - opening hours and admission details aren't widely publicised, and you'll likely need to book if you want to use the pitches.

If you're based at one of the caravan parks or glamping sites scattered around the Leicester area, Stoneycroft could be a handy option for keeping active during your stay. It's not a draw in itself, but it fills a gap.
