Bartley Park parkrun

Bus: The nearest bus stop is Hazel Farm Road on the A336, using Bluestar bus number 11 from Southampton Via Central Totton. This stop is just past the roundabout at Larchwood Road. Once off the bus, walk back to the roundabout and turn into Larchwood Road, Bartley Park will be on the left after about 100 metres. Walk 1km through the park to the Bartley Park bandstand and skatepark. The start location can be found using what3words: ///tagging.elsewhere.division or “Bartley Park / Totton Skate park” on Google maps.

Train: Totton, about 1.7 miles away, a 38 minute walk along High Street and just beyond the Spicers Hill roundabout turn right on Rushington Lane. At the end of the road cross over and follow the path into Trevoner Close and keep left. Follow the path turning left onto Pentridge Way until you reach Ibbotson Way. Cross Ibbotson Way and follow the path down towards the A326, and then follow the path round to the right where you’ll find the start. Or catch the number 11 bus, that stops not far from the station on the Commercial Road side, just in front of the Headway building.

The start is at the Ashurst Bridge Road end of Bartley Park, near the skatepark and bandstand. The closest entrance for the park can be accessed from Ashurst Bridge Road or from the Ringwood Road roundabout at the junction of Larchwood Road and Hazel Farm Road with a 1km walk to the start.

Bartley Park parkrun is a fun, free event organised by volunteers for the benefit of everyone. We wish to make the event as safe as possible, so participants, spectators and helpers are asked to take care about the following:

• Please be considerate to the park and other park users at all times.
• Children under the age of eleven must be accompanied (within arm's reach) throughout the event by a parent, guardian or appropriate adult of the parent's choice.
• Please arrive by foot, by pedal-power or by public transport if you can - your efforts help to reduce our impact on the park and the planet.
• We invite everyone to consider volunteering at parkrun. Your support helps your parkrun events remain sustainable and free for all in your community, and it’s also a wonderful way to improve your own health and happiness. Please visit the volunteer page for more information.
• Take care near roads and car parks – some vehicles drive very quickly. Please congregate away from the cars and be careful in particular if you have children. If you’re driving to the event, please drive carefully.
• Take care on uneven surfaces – whether on grass or on tarmac. Watch out for cyclists, other participants, pedestrians, children, dogs, wildlife, park animals, vehicles, park maintenance work, falling branches, bollards, posts and other obstacles around the course.
• Please ensure that you are fit enough to walk, jog, run 5k (3.1 miles) with us.
• If you see someone with a serious problem, please stop to help them out and get help as soon as possible.
• If you’re watching, keep clear of participants on the course, and look after any children and dogs you may have with you.
• It is not permitted to run with a pushchair and a dog at the same time.
• Lyme Disease is a bacterial infection spread to humans by infected ticks. Consider protecting yourself by wearing repellent when at parkrun events in grassy or wooded areas. See lymediseaseuk.com for further details.
• You are welcome to take part with one dog by your side, within reach at all times, on a short, handheld, non-extendable lead. The use of waist harnesses is prohibited. Please also see this Support Site entry for further details about parkrunning with dogs.
• parkrunners pushing buggies are welcome, but please take care of others around you and do your best to start at an appropriate place in the field for your pace.

We hope these tips help to ensure that Bartley Park parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
