The entrance to the car park is opposite the entrance to Peel Park and the big red Salford sign on the Crescent.

The University has agreed for parkrunners to have free parking until midday at Irwell Place car park only. Parking in any other University car park without paying will result in a fine. You must display a spare barcode on your dashboard in order to receive free parking. If you do not display a barcode or want to stay longer than midday, you must purchase a ticket to prevent receiving a fine. You can pay by cash, card and Pay by Phone app. Please allow a few minutes to get from the car park to Peel Park.
There is limited disabled parking as well as a few pay and display bays directly outside Salford Museum and Art Gallery.

Every week we grab a post-parkrun coffee: a local cafe. Atmosphere cafe is in the student union up the steps in the far corner of the park where there is also an outside coffee 'hut'. The Old Fire Station cafe is just outside the park, over the road on The Crescent. Please come and join us!

Peel 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 Peel parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
