Shared school-community parking with accessible bays, free school hours, and pay-after-shop for public.
Coombe Wood School Sports Car Park is a joint-use facility managed by Croydon Council and Coombe Wood School, located off Coombe Road. The lot provides 100 sealed asphalt bays, including six accessible spaces located adjacent to the main pedestrian entrance to the sports centre. Parking is free for school staff and students during school hours; public parking is available outside school times at £1 per hour, paid via pay-and-display machines accepting coins and contactless cards. LED floodlights illuminate the lot during evening sports events from dusk until 10:00 pm. Two CCTV cameras monitor entrances, exits, and accessible bays for security. Covered signage displays sports centre timetables, bus timetables for services to Croydon and Purley, and community notices. Pedestrian pathways link directly to sports halls, tennis courts, and playing fields within a one-minute walk. Monthly maintenance includes line repainting, pothole repairs, and litter clearance to maintain a clean environment for school and community use.
