Saxton Fields parking on grass.

“The Park & Facilities Team would like to remind all people who attend weekend sport that driving onto grassed areas is not permitted on NCC Reserves. People like to get as close as they can to the action but parking in non-designated areas creates a risk for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists when getting in and out of these spots… it is especially dangerous when the ground is wet and boggy and it often costs money to repair the damaged grass. We ask that people plan a little bit of extra time to find a suitable park with time to walk to their destination.”
