Parking in the public car-park opposite the Black Bull and in the pub car-park.  However, we would encourage participants to walk/cycle/bus to the location as spaces are limited.  There is a great cycle route through Admirals Park from the train station and city centre that brings you close by (the venue is located at the top of "the hill" on the Chelmsford Central parkrun course.)
