Community parking with accessible bays, pay-and-display, and direct access to Lexden sports and leisure facilities.
Lexden Park Car Park is a council-operated surface facility located off Church Lane, adjacent to Lexden Road in Colchester. The lot provides 90 sealed tarmac bays, including six accessible spaces situated nearest the footpath leading to Lexden Road Cricket Ground and the village green. Pay-and-display machines accept coins and contactless cards; tariffs are £1 per hour with a four-hour maximum stay, and a daily cap of £5 applies during peak season (AprilSeptember), free off-peak. Solar-powered LED bollard lights line pedestrian routes from dusk until 9:00 pm, and one CCTV camera monitors the entrance for security. Covered information boards display local parish council notices, event schedules for Lexden Rescue Animal Centre, and bus timetables for the 85 service to Colchester. Pedestrian pathways link directly to the cricket ground, community centre, and nearby park within a two-minute walk. Monthly maintenance includes line repainting, pothole repairs, and litter collection to preserve a tidy environment for community and park visitors.
