Free Parking for Leisure Members & Pay-and-Display for Visitors
Northcroft Leisure Centre Car Park is a spacious, surface-level facility dedicated to users of the Northcroft Sports Centre and adjacent Newbury Leisure Pool. The lot offers approximately 200 marked bays, including ten accessible bays near the main entrance to the center. Operating hours run from 6 am to 10 pm daily, with parking free for registered leisure center members upon presentation of their membership card; casual users pay via pay-and-display machines accepting coins and contactless cards, with a capped daily rate. The site is patrolled regularly by leisure center security and monitored by CCTV cameras covering all areas. LED floodlighting ensures safe access during early morning and evening hours. Designated pedestrian walkways with raised zebra crossings guide visitors to the leisure pool entrance within a two-minute walk. A covered walkway connects to the outdoor tennis courts and BMX track. Bus stops on Newtown Road offer services to Newbury town center and surrounding villages. EV drivers can use four rapid charging points located near the lots southern perimeter. A bike rack for twelve cycles is provided near the reception building to encourage active transport.
