Parking is facilitated by the Egloshayle Playing Fields Car Park, managed by Wadebridge Town Council. Located conveniently near the park's main attractions, it operates on a pay-and-display basis, ensuring easy access for visitors.
It is a short walk to the centre of town across Anneka's Bridge, also known as the Challenge Bridge or Bailey Bridge, is a pedestrian suspension bridge spanning the River Camel. Constructed in 1991 as part of the television program "Challenge Anneka," the bridge was built to provide the community of Egloshayle with a shorter route into Wadebridge town centre, eliminating the need to walk down to the Old Bridge.
The bridge features a two-span, single-pylon cable-stayed design, with a timber deck and steel pylon. It measures 180 feet in length and serves as a vital connection for pedestrians and cyclists between the Egloshayle playing fields and the Jubilee Park on the opposite side of the river.
Overall, Egloshayle Playing Fields serves as a vibrant community hub, offering diverse recreational opportunities for residents and visitors of Wadebridge.
