Farnborough Gate
The ground itself is nothing more than a quite park area which has a marked out football pitch, built on the old site of the RAE Playing Fields.

These days the park is far smaller than it was, but does have modern changing facilities and there is also a small car park situated at the end of Ringwood Road, just prior to the field itself.

The park is surrounded by a high wire fence as well as trees which help keep the sound of traffic from the nearby Blackwater Relief Road (A331) to a minimum.

The Ship
Facilities For Visitors

On the junction of Ship Lane and Ringwood Road is a decent little pub called The Ship. This has its own car park or is only a one minute walk from the ground.

Next to the pub is a large BP Service Station which has the usual shopping facilities and at the nearby Farnborough Gate Retail Park, there is a drive-thru McDonalds.

The closest shopping facilities can be found at Frimley, less than a five minute drive away. Do not expect too much to keep you busy though!

Closest Rail Links
Farnborough North or Frimley Stations are about an equal distance away.
