Riverlution parkrun

Bus: Both the Orbiter bus and the 60 Southshore/New Brighton bus will stop just a short walk from the Riverlution Eco Park. You can alight either on Stanmore Road (between Draper Street and Alexandra Street) or on Woodham Road (between Avonside Drive and Patten Street). For more details, visit the Metro website.

From Stanmore Road, head along Vogel Street and you will see the Riverlution Eco Park on your right.

Using GPS, head towards the Riverlution Eco Hub, or one of the streets listed below and look for parking: Swanns RoadAvonside Drive (towards the Retreat Road end)Retreat RoadCowlishaw Street
Note: There is very limited parking available on Vogel Street.

Once parked, walk to the Riverlution Eco Hub, which is within the Richmond Community Garden. Walking from any of the above streets will take around 2-5 minutes depending on where you park.

There is also a carpark next to the Casa Dei Bambini Montessori kindergarten (800m from the start/finish area).

Riverlution 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.
• 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 Riverlution parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
