Surbiton junior parkrun

Bus: There are multiple buses that run nearby due to the vicinity of Tolworth High Street and all have stops just to the south-west of the park (30 seconds walk away) on the A240 (Ewell Road).
They are the 281, 406, 418, K1, K2 and 265.
Please be aware the K2 bus coming from Kingston Hospital does also stop on Elgar Avenue, which is also 20 seconds walk from the park from the south-east.

Please see the TFL website for greater information and alternatively epsomcoaches.com for more information on the 406 and 418 buses.

Train: The nearest train station is Tolworth (approximately 10-15 minutes walk north to the park over the A3). Surbiton Station is 20-25 minutes walk south to the park. They are on separate lines but both run from London Waterloo. Tolworth station is on the Waterloo to Chessington South main line. For more information please see southwesttrains.co.uk.

The park is easily accessible by foot from along King Charles’ Road, with a pedestrian gate at the south-west point, along the mid-west of the park (by the pavilion) and at the north-west of the park. The latter two are painted yellow and please keep in mind to close the gates after you enter.
There is additional pedestrian access from the north-east of the park past the bowls club.

Nearby Tolworth High Street is just off the A3 (Kingston By-Pass) and is part of the A240 (Ewell Road) towards Surbiton/Kingston. Alexandra Recreation Ground is located next to King Charles’ Road, which is just off the A240 at the north end of Tolworth High Street.

Unrestricted parking can be found on King Charles’ Road but is limited due to it being on a residential road - the postcode is KT5 9BE. There is additional unrestricted parking on Hollyfield Road, which is just a short walk to the north west of the Rec. There is a variety of other unrestricted parking on the nearby residential streets surrounding the park but please be careful and considerate of the resident’s driveways, passageways and vehicles as well as making sure you are not parking in a restricted bay.

Alternatively there is a large pay-and-display multi-storey car park under Tolworth Tower at the south end of the High Street toward the A3 located next to Marks and Spencer.

Surbiton junior parkrun is a fun, free event organised by volunteers for the benefit of everyone. To make the event as safe as possible, participants, spectators and volunteers are asked to take note of the following rules and guidelines:

• Whilst parkrun fully accepts its duty of care and will do everything it can to minimise risk of injury and harm to all participants whilst at parkrun events, it is parent/guardians who ultimately have responsibility for the welfare of their children.
• It is not mandatory for a parent/guardian to participate in junior parkruns, but children under the age of 11 must be accompanied to/from the event by a responsible adult, and the responsible adult must remain in attendance for the duration of the event.
• junior events are open and inclusive. Disabled people may participate wherever it is safe for them to do so. The event team can provide disabled participants with course information in order that the participant (or their parent/guardian) can make an informed decision about their safe participation.
• Whilst more competitive children can use junior parkruns to test themselves against their own time, and against others, participation should ultimately be for fun, and we urge all parents/guardians/volunteers not to put children under undue pressure to perform.
• junior parkruns are running, jogging and walking events, and the use of children’s scooters, balance bikes, trikes or cycles is prohibited.
• Slower runners are encouraged to seed themselves, by starting towards the back of the group especially if an adult is accompanying them.
• junior parkruns are timed events. Only those aged between 4 to 14 years old completing the course themselves will be given a result. ​
• Exceptions to this rule are subject to the discretion of parkrun head office. Examples include those over 14 with special educational needs (SEN) or those with a registered disability, for whom social interaction and physical activity may be difficult but important.
• A strict ‘no barcode no result’ policy will be enforced.
• Buggies are allowed, subject to course conditions, but only if the adult pushing the buggy is accompanying a junior parkrunner. Adults with buggies are urged to position themselves appropriately for the safety and enjoyment of all.
• With the exception of assistance dogs, dogs are not allowed to accompany walkers, joggers, runners or volunteers at junior parkrun events.
• 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.
• Spectators should keep clear of participants on the course and keep control of any children and dogs.
• Participants should take care near roads and car parks, congregate away from the cars and be careful if driving to/from the event.
• Photography or filming is likely to take place at junior parkrun events. Please see our photos page for more details.
• 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.
