Arlebury Park

Arlebury Park is the main centre for sporting activities in Alresford and has recently been expanded to provide additional changing rooms and improved recreational facilities. The building  also houses the Town Council Offices. 

The park is situated a few steps from the main town centre and has magnificent views of the surrounding countryside. 
If you exit the park at the kissing gate at the bottom of the park, passed the Skateboard area,  you will join that section of the Millenium Trail where the riverside walk leads to the Eel House.

This peaceful oasis offers leisure activities for all ages. There is a play area for children and just outside is an arial runway, much loved and used by all ages.  The new Petanque Terrain and picnic tables are situated alongside the play area.  Nearer to the main building are football pitches and the cricket strip and beside the building there are the two, newly renovated, tennis courts.   

The building is the home of the ARC which has a small intimate bar and a main function hall which has its own bar facilities.   The ARC's balcony overlooks the park where residents and visitors alike can sit and enjoy the Arlebury Park panoramic views..
