Feedback from local people has been taken into account and the Council has decided not to proceed with a parking charge trial.
West Berkshire Council has received an estimated 300 responses to a consultation on introducing an eight week trial of parking charges at the Nature Discovery Centre in Thatcham.
The views expressed by local people have been taken into account and the Council has decided not to proceed with the trial meaning all visitors will continue to be able to park free of charge.
This decision means that the need to find other ways of covering the cost of maintaining and running the Centre remains.
Hilary Cole, West Berkshire Executive Councillor for Environment said: "I would like to thank everyone who took the time to submit their views to our consultation. We understand the strength of feeling and have listened to the overwhelming response. There is still a need though to find some way of meeting the increasing costs of this important facility and we will now be looking at alternative solutions."
