Exeter Sports Pavilion and Playing Field

Exeter-Herford Playing Fields are on the far side of Uni Parks once you’ve crossed the river. We meet here for sessions at the Pavilion for what can be a bleak and gruelling session on a rainy day, or a fun (but exhausting) session on a sunny one. These are a set of 3 fields all connected up so is a good flat grass venue.

Pros:

  • Out of the way from the city centre so no-one needs to see your post-session sweatiness on your way back to college.
  • Its FLAT!!
  • Good warm up route through uni parks- can always add a few laps of the park if you want to extend your warm up milage
  • Sheltered space (the pavilion) to keep things dry if it’s a rainy day
  • Good venue for the beer mile

Cons:

  • Can get a bit tedious running laps of the same 3 fields
  • When its really hot in summer there not much shade during reps
