| What's Bastion Gardens Like? |
|
Bastion Gardens is located five
minutes walk north of Prestatyn town centre, between
the railway line and the beach front. The ground is
reached by an obscure driveway at the end of the
suburban Bastion Garden road. Here we find a modest
sized car park leading onto the rear of the social
club and dressing room building. Walking through the
home turnstile we emerge behind the goal at the
social club end. This side of the ground has a
narrow area of flat standing, formed by the border
of the car park whilst most of the |

restricted on the Bastion Gradens side, there has been
some talk that the Bastion Road/training ground end
could be redeveloped to increase the seating capacity,
most likely by placing a temporary structure in front
of the training ground. |

| Visiting Supporters |
| As far as we are aware visiting supporters
are allocated the Bastion Road / training ground end,
which is reached by a separate turnstile along Bastion
Road as its leads towards the beach front. This area
of the ground is flat standing, with the training
ground behind. |

| Where To Drink? |
|
There is a
Social Club at the ground that welcomes
supporters. Mike Edwards informs me;
'A couple of hundred yards up from the
ground going towards the sea front is the
Nova Centre. Inside it has
a bar which also shows televised sport.' Otherwise
there are a number of bars
and eating places to be
found in the town centre, around a 10-15 minute
walk away. |
