Par Track

24/10/2026

We’d like to thank St Austell Police for their continued support and for taking the concerns raised by our staff and users seriously.

We want to make it clear that we recognise the importance of young people having somewhere to meet and socialise, and that the majority are not deliberately causing trouble.

However, one of the biggest challenges we face is simply the number of young people congregating around the café and entrance area, particularly during the evenings. At times, groups of 25-30 young people have gathered, which can create an intimidating environment for other visitors, even when no antisocial behaviour is taking place.

Unfortunately, this is having a real impact on people feeling comfortable visiting Par Track, as well as affecting our activities and income.

We are actively working with the police, local youth workers and other partners to explore positive, longer-term solutions that support young people while ensuring Par Track remains a safe and welcoming place for everyone.

We would also like to appeal to parents and carers. If your children regularly spend their evenings at Par Track, please speak to them about the impact that large groups gathering around the café and entrance can have on other users. We would really appreciate your support in encouraging them not to congregate in these areas.

Par Track is a community facility for everyone, and we want it to remain that way. We aren’t trying to stop young people enjoying the site, but we do need to find a balance that works for the whole community.

We would also encourage anyone who witnesses antisocial behaviour to report it directly to the police.

Thank you to St Austell Police and everyone who continues to support us. 💚

PAR TRACK | We have been in contact with staff at the track about large numbers of young people congregating around the cafe area in the evenings which has caused concern for staff and users. A minority have been seen behaving in an anti social manner.

We have been conducting patrols and have spoken to young people congregating there . The majority have been good natured and amicable with us.

We understand that the track's facilities makes it a good spot for young people to socialise.

We would ask if you are a young person socialising at the track please show respect and understanding to staff and visitors.

It is a much valued spot for the community. Ourselves and staff at the track want all users to enjoy and feel safe using the facilities.

⚠️🌳 STORM UPDATE – PAR TRACK TO REMAIN CLOSED UNTIL SUNDAY 🌧️💨

Thankfully, we've come through last night's storm without sustaining too much damage across the site.

However, there are a number of hazards that still need to be dealt with, including large hanging tree branches near the football pitch by the car park and over the pathway on the far side of the site. There are also smaller branches and debris scattered across the grounds.

With a second storm forecast to hit on Saturday, we have made the decision to keep the entire site closed until Sunday morning (25th October).

🚫 This includes the café, gym, library, athletics track and wider grounds.

⚠️ We strongly urge everyone to stay away from the site during this period. Although the damage appears relatively limited, there are still hazards present, and further strong winds could make conditions dangerous.

We appreciate this is frustrating, but the safety of our staff, customers and the wider community must come first.

We will continue to monitor the situation and assess the site before reopening.

💚 Thank you for your patience and understanding. Stay safe, everyone!

⚠️🌧️ IMPORTANT NOTICE – PAR TRACK SITE CLOSURE 💨⚠️

Due to the forecast storm and amber weather warning, we have made the decision to close Par Track from 4pm this evening (Thursday 22nd October) until Saturday morning (24th October).

🚫 This closure includes:

☕ Café

💪 Gym

📚 Library

🏃 Athletics Track

🌳 Wider grounds and outdoor facilities

The safety of our staff, customers and visitors is our absolute priority, and we feel this is the most sensible decision given the forecast conditions.

⚠️ We strongly urge everyone not to access or use the site during this period. With the potential for strong winds, falling branches and flying debris, the grounds could become dangerous.

🚗 Please note that the inner car park gate will be locked at 6pm this evening.

📧 Anyone who has booked a class, gym or track session during this period will be contacted by email shortly.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, but we hope everyone understands the reasons behind our decision.

We will continue to monitor conditions and provide updates on our social media channels regarding reopening.

Please stay safe, everyone! 💚

📣 A FRIENDLY REMINDER – PLEASE BOOK YOUR SESSIONS AT PAR TRACK! 🏃‍♀️🏋️‍♂️

We’re delighted to see so many people using Par Track to stay active and healthy! 💚 To help us keep our facilities running smoothly, please remember to book online every time you use the gym, attend a fitness class or use the athletics track.

Here's why booking is so important:

💻 1. Avoid disappointment

Booking secures your place and lets you check availability before setting off. If a session isn't showing on the booking system, it means the facility isn't available at that time. Please don't just turn up and assume you can use it!

📅 2. Helps us manage our facilities safely

Bookings help us manage numbers, coordinate activities and provide a safe environment for everyone. This is particularly important at our athletics track, which is shared by runners, athletics clubs, footballers and other groups.

🏃 3. Check track availability before running

If a track session is showing as unavailable, there is a reason. It could be an athletics club training night, an organised event or football being played on the pitches inside the track.

⚽ IMPORTANT: PLEASE DO NOT RUN ON THE TRACK WHILE FOOTBALL IS TAKING PLACE.

This is a safety issue. Footballs can come onto the running track unexpectedly, putting runners and players at risk. Please respect the booking system and use the track only when it is available.

🛠️ 4. Helps us maintain and improve our facilities

Accurate booking records help us demonstrate how well our facilities are used. This information is vital when applying for funding and grants for future improvements and maintenance. For example, demonstrating how many people use our athletics track helps us make the case for funding when it needs resurfacing or other major investment.

⚖️ 5. Supports our insurance requirements

We need accurate records of who is using our facilities and when. Online bookings help us maintain these records in line with our insurance requirements, providing important documentation should an incident occur.

😊 6. Keeps things simple for everyone!

Booking in advance means less confusion, fewer interruptions and a smoother experience for everyone. Even if you're a regular member or have been using the facilities for years, please remember to book every time.

👉 READY TO BOOK?

Visit https://partrack.org.uk/book-it to book your gym session, fitness class or athletics track visit.

Thank you for your cooperation and for supporting your community-owned Par Track. By booking every time, you're helping us keep our facilities safe, accessible and sustainable for the whole community. 💚

Please book. Please check availability. Enjoy your session!
