Free community parking with accessible bays, lit walkways, and quick walk to St Johns Church and Castle Park.
St Johns Church Car Park is a church-managed facility located off Lisle Road near Colchesters historic city centre. The lot offers 40 sealed gravel bays, including two accessible spaces positioned nearest the walkway leading to St Johns Church and community centre. Parking is free for churchgoers and community event attendees; non-event parking is discouraged by signage. Solar-powered LED bollard lights line pedestrian routes from dusk until 9:00 pm, and no CCTV is installed due to minimal traffic. Covered notice boards at the entrance display church service times, community event schedules, and local heritage trail maps. Pedestrian pathways link directly to Castle Park, the civic museum, and the High Street within a five-minute walk. Monthly maintenance includes gravel replenishment, line repainting, and litter clearance to maintain a tidy, reflective environment for worship and community gatherings.
