Free park-side parking with accessible bays, lit walkways, and immediate access to Ashburton Park.
Ashburton Park Car Park is operated by Croydon Council, serving visitors to Ashburton Park and nearby residential areas. The lot provides 80 sealed asphalt bays, including six accessible spaces adjacent to the pedestrian crossing leading to the park pavilion and children’s playground. Parking is free of charge year-round, though overnight stays are prohibited. Solar-powered LED bollard lights line pedestrian routes from dusk until 9:00 pm to ensure safe access after evening events. No CCTV is installed due to minimal overnight traffic; local wardens patrol periodically during park events. Covered notice boards display park event schedules, bus timetables for services to Croydon Town Centre, and community notices. Pedestrian pathways link directly to the park café, sports courts, and fitness equipment areas within a two-minute walk. Monthly maintenance includes line repainting of bay markers, pothole repairs, and litter clearance to maintain a clean, safe environment for families.
