Gomeldon Play Park is located at the eastern end of Gomeldon village. The site has vehicular access via a tarmac road, East Gomeldon Road, suitable for tractors, lorries and plant. It should be noted that access is through a tunnel under a railway bridge thus there is a limited height restriction. However, access for large vehicles is available up a track on MOD land.
An access gate is currently locked at sunset, and opened at ~0700, although this could be completed by the contractor, or the times adjusted by mutual agreement.
The site has no running water or sewerage/welfare facilities.
