Free scenic parking at Orwell Country Park main entrance
Gainsborough Lane Car Park at Orwell Country Park is a council-operated surface facility serving park visitors. It offers 100 marked bays including eight disabled spaces located near the main entrance. Operating hours are sunriseĀsunset daily; no charges apply. The gravel-and-asphalt surface is graded for drainage, inspected quarterly, with minor repairs within 48 hours. LED bollard lighting provides minimal illumination for early-morning and late-evening users, and two CCTV cameras monitor entry, exit, and pedestrian pathways. Pedestrian pathways lead directly to the Visitor Centre (2 minute walk), to riverside trails (3 minutes), and to the lakeside fishing platforms (5 minutes). No EV charging stations are installed; nearest public charger is at Bridge Wood Car Park, a 10 minute drive away. Biweekly litter clearance and hedge trimming maintain a well-kept environment.
