Alexandra Park Map

The park was used for training in the formative years of STAG. Although small by day, by including the golf course it becomes a fine venue for night events.

There is a permanent orienteering course here.

Information about the area.

With 10 controls the permanent course will take approximately 30 minutes to walk round.

Course checked October 2009- 100%ok
