Free parking for Abbey Fields park and Leisure Centre
Abbey Fields Car Park is a council-operated surface facility serving Abbey Fields park and the Leisure Centre. It provides 200 marked bays including twelve disabled spaces located near footpaths. Operating hours are sunrisesunset daily; no charges apply. The gravel-and-asphalt surface is graded for drainage, with quarterly inspections and minor repairs within 48 hours. LED bollard lighting provides minimal illumination for early-morning and late-evening park users, and two CCTV cameras monitor entry, exit, and pedestrian walkways. Pedestrian pathways lead directly to the leisure centre entrance (1 minute walk), to sports pitches (3 minutes), and to play areas (5 minutes). No EV charging stations are provided; the nearest public charger is at Square West Car Park, a 12-minute walk away. Weekly litter clearance and hedge trimming maintain site cleanliness.
