It’s an okay car park, the lines really need re doing as it’s really hard to see them. There’s quite a few spaces but at peak times it can be completely full.
Main car park is always busy on Monday evening's due to all gymnastics and they park on every spare bit of grass and on the paths so you have to walk on the road. The overflow car park has plenty of spaces but there is a lamppost that has no light it needs fixing and the path by the skate park can be a bit eerie due to this. If the lamp post light was fixed it would be fine
Needs a much bigger car park as when there are events on in the park or stadium, it fills up very quickly. You can usually use the college carpark as an overflow and in the summer, the grass at the side of the skate park.
Tiny car park. Lots of potholes and usually surrounded by youths from the skate park. Handy parking space if you want to access the stadium although I would park elsewhere
Car park is ok, but the place is waterlogged, leaves a foot deep, paths very muddy, bit of a disaster
