Eligibility for a leisure permit

Parking permits are only issued to full leisure membership holders to use at either of the Castle Sports car parks whilst they are using the facilities. 

Casual users such as leisure card holders and pay as you go members cannot apply for a permit.

Please note that application of an permit does not guarantee a space in the parking area.

Applying for a parking permit

When making your application for a permit you must provide the following details to enable us to validate your application with Parkwood (your leisure provider):

• Your full leisure membership number
• Registration of the vehicle you require a permit issued to for used at the car parks
• A valid email address

Once you have submitted your application for a permit you should allow 10 working days for any request to be reviewed and processed. You will need to pay for any parking until your permit has been authorised and issued. Failure to display a paid time parking ticket or permit may result in a PCN.

Some cases may require further investigation, to which we will respond within 28 days. When your application has been processed you will receive a confirmation email with your permit attached for you to print and display. 

Please note you will receive a physical permit via email to be printed off and clearly displayed in your vehicle.
