Singleton Park Events

In order to prevent indiscriminate parking and therefore hopefully minimise the inconvenience to residents, a number of road closures will be in place and “No parking” cones will be placed along several residential roads surrounding the park on each event day. Please be assured that emergency access will always be maintained.

During the build and take down periods, as well as during the events themselves, Singleton Park will remain open as usual, however access to some areas will be restricted and park users may experience a significant increase in vehicular traffic. Please follow the directional and safety signage as appropriate. As an alternative residents may find it more convenient to visit a different park in the local area.
