More information

Woodfield Park Community Centre is also known as the Charteris Centre, and appears under that name in Google Maps. The carpark is at the end of Normanton Road, and the centre is beyond that. There are playing fields on either side and behind the centre.

The community centre has ample parking, toilets, and is wheelchair accessible.
