The Sports Centre has its own (but with very limited spaces) car park, next to the School Coach Park off the Faringdon road. OX14 1BQ. Please park considerately when our car park is full.
Please avoid parking on Faringdon Road, particularly across curbs, as it can make it difficult for wheelchair users and other pedestrians to access the pathway. Thank you for your understanding.
