Equipment
Parking
There is a maximum of 160 car park spaces on site, provided on a first come first served basis. Once these are full, people will be advised to park off site. When parking off site please be considerate of the local residents and park appropriately.
Parking for minibuses and large 52 seat coaches is not available on site. Please see map below for instructions for large coaches. Minibuses are asked to follow the same instructions regarding drop off, and park appropriate in the surrounding area.
Coach Parking Guidance
Due to the facility’s location within a residential area and limited on-site parking, coaches are required to drop teams off and then park away from the site.
While there are no parking restrictions on Yew Tree Road (directly outside the facility), coaches should only use this road for drop-off purposes to avoid blocking the carriageway for extended periods.
Free parking bays are available on Platt Lane, adjacent to the grass pitch, and can be used for coach parking after drop-off.
