Car Parking
Due to the BMX facility being located in a public park there is NO parking alongside the track itself. Sloughbottom Park has it’s own car park but it is too small to handle a BMX event/race. So if you are coming to an event/race we ask you to park in the trading estate behind the track. If visiting on a non-event day then you are free to use the car park. Use directions below and then add either "event" or "non-event" option.If coming from M11, A11 travelling on the A11 just outside of Norwich you will reach Thickthorn Roundabout/services. Continue forward onto Newmarket road, at Newmarket road roundabout take first exit onto A140 (sign posted Cromer & airport), at next 2 roundabouts take second exit - A140.
For Parking on race days the address is:
Burnet RoadSweetbriar Ind. Estate,
