APCOA-managed sports parking at Martello Park South
Martello Park South Car Park, managed by APCOA, is a council-owned surface lot offering 80 marked bays including six disabled spaces located near the gated entrance. Operating hours are 7 am–9 pm daily; pay-and-display machines accept coins, contactless, and RingGo payments; no overnight parking. The tarmac surface is grooved to manage drainage and inspected quarterly; potholes repaired within 48 hours. LED bollard lighting ensures visibility for early-morning and evening sports enthusiasts, and two CCTV cameras monitor entry, exit, and pedestrian routes. Pedestrian pathways lead directly to Martello Park sports fields (1 minute walk) and to Orford Road shops (3 minutes). Two Type 2 EV charging bays are located near the entrance, available on a pay-as-you-go basis. Weekly litter clearance and hedge trimming maintain site cleanliness.
