Pugneys Country Park slipway (Crigglestone)
This slipway sits on the lake at Pugneys Country Park, a former sand quarry between Wakefield and Crigglestone that now doubles as a flood-storage basin for the River Calder and a nature reserve. Wakefield Council, which manages the park, no longer permits water sports there following a 2023 review that prioritised wildlife over recreation.
