If driving, please travel down the main Somerdale Road past the factory and down into the lower car park at the bottom of Trajectus Way. Pay and Display parking is available at £0.60 per hour. At the time of writing, an annual Somerdale Pavilion membership can also be obtained for £25 (which includes a parking permit for one car).
An alternative pay and display car park can be found directly by the pavilion but it would be preferable if the lower car park could be filled first to allow space for other users of the pavilion.
Free parking is available opposite the Keynsham train station at the foot of the hill on Keynsham Road in the overflow car park, however please allow further time to walk to the start of the parkrun if you choose to use this.
We kindly ask that participants do not park on the Somerdale Estate as it will lead to complaints from local residents.

Somerdale Pavilion 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.
• 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.
• Unfortunately dogs are not allowed at this event.
  The only exception to this rule is when accompanied by an assistance dog.
• Runners pushing buggies are also welcome, but please take extreme care of other runners around you. The course is very bumpy so please consider if this course is suitable for your child and buggy. If possible start from the back of the field and try to keep to one side of the main body of runners.

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