About this parkrun
3 laps of park at Whiteley Village shopping centre, small section on grass that can get muddy in winter. Mainly flat with small slope towards end of lap. Plenty of free parking and variety of coffee shops for post run coffee. Friendly event.Gravic 5th Feb 2019
As it's adjacent to an out of town shopping centre, there is plenty of parking. I enjoyed it much more than I expected to, as it's multiple laps round a park in a housing estate. More attractive than you might expect.

3 laps of a slightly undulating park and housing estate, quite congested with people as you catch them on the tight paths. Easy to park but not a Parkrun that I will be returning to quickly.

Lovely parkrun. Multi lap but never felt too congested. Quite a fast route, all on pavements. Well organised and friendly. Loads of parking.

All tarmac and fairly flat. Minor problem with people traffic. 3 laps with a section on a non-wide path with people going in both directions, so if you're trying to overtake it's awkward.

4 undulating laps (1 small, 3 big) on tarmac. After 3rd dog-leg go straight to finish. Keep left for first lap then keep right after, works well. Quite a lot of overtaking and narrow on the dog-leg. Loos in Leisure Centre and Costa/Greggs for coffee.
