Southall parkrun

Bus: Many buses can be used to get to the centre of Southall, the main buses on the Uxbridge road are the 207, 427, 607 and 195. The E5 bus serves people travelling North and South into Southall.

Tube: The nearest Underground lines are: Ealing Broadway (Central / District Lines) and then one of 207, 607 buses OR Boston Manor (Piccadilly Line) and 195 … allow at least 30mins from both tube stations to get to the start of the parkrun.

Train: Southall mainline station is a 15min walk away - this has regular trains from central London and regular trains from the west (Reading, Slough etc). Southall mainline station will be on the Crossrail route from later in 2021.

The start line will be visible from the main entrance to the park off of the Uxbridge Road and from people arriving at the Boyd Avenue entrance.
If coming by train - then walk down Park Avenue, which is off the main road the station is on, and enter the park through the entrance on Park Avenue.

The park is on the main Uxbridge Road (A4020) on the east side of the centre of Southall in the Borough of Ealing.

Limited parking with parking restrictions on all roads closer to the centre of Southall. Street parking at Green Drive on the park perimeter has no restrictions as at November 2021 but this should be checked when parking.

Southall 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 Southall parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
