Levengrove parkrun

Dumbarton is well served by train and bus routes. The nearest rail station is Dalreoch which is a 10 minute walk (0.5 miles) along West Bridgend towards Levengrove Park.

The number 1A bus which comes from Glasgow to Balloch stops very close to the start of parkrun. Get off the bus at the stop opposite Bowie Street on West Bridgend. Levengrove Park is a 5 minute walk away.

If arriving by train at Dalreoch train station, exit the station and cross at the traffic lights on Glasgow Road. Head straight ahead along West Bridgend. You will pass a church (West Kirk) on your right hand side, keep going straight ahead until you see a pub called The Waverley (on your left) at which point you should veer right up Clydeshore Road and continue until you see the park gates on your left.

If using SatNav, the postcode for parking close to Levengrove Park is G82 4BG. The formal car park is on your left hand side as you turn into Woodyard Road.

Levengrove Park can be easily reached from the A82 heading west from Glasgow taking the exit for A814 Glasgow Road. Travel straight on the A814 and take the second exit at the first roundabout in the direction of Helensburgh. Take a left-turn on to High Street then a right onto Bridge Street and finally a left turn onto Woodyard Road where there is a car park on your left

Levengrove 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 Levengrove parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
