Repeating the email from Dave Witt, regarding parking at Poole Park, which was sent out in a club email at the end of April.
Good afternoon Club Secretaries,
Please be advised that BCP have recently changed the parking regulations within Poole Park which has unfortunately severely restricted the parking facilities not only in the park itself but also in the dedicate bowls parking area.
As a result Poole Park BC can only accommodate 3 cars per away team within the dedicated bowls parking area.
New signage has been erected in the parking restricting general parking to 2 hours therefore regrettably additional / alternative parking will need to be sort in the various Pay & Display Car Parks outside the park. At the moment it is still free parking by the lake (but suspect that is not going to last). On match days first try the bowls club car park and they will always try and get you in but can only guarantee 3 cars per team. Other some street parking which again is restricted the leisure centre is the nearest pay & display.
Poole Park BC have another meeting with BCP before month end. Any update and I will forward it on. Poole Park BC would wish to pass on their apologies to but unfortunately this is outside of their control.
Please pass this on to all your members and we would advise that you consider car-sharing when playing at Poole Park.
Thank you
Dave Whitt
