Pasterfield Community Centre, Horizon Drive, Cameron Park

To find the Pasterfield Centre, drive through Glendale, then to Edgeworth, through Edgeworth shopping centre and keep going on the divided road. There is a roundabout with the left going to Barnsley, go straight ahead. Take the first turn on the right, about 200 metres, into Dunbar Street. There is a turning lane with arrows painted on the road. Follow this road, when under the power lines you will see the sign PASTERFIELD COMMUNITY CENTRE (left) and SPORTING FIELDS (right). Turn left, then next right, can’t miss it.  The Pasterfield centre will be on your right.

If arriving from the south on the Pacific Motorway, exit on the West Wallsend Interchange & then follow the signs to Cardiff. You will travel approximately 4 kilometres,  the turn off to Dunbar Street will be on your left.    If you come to the roundabout to Barnsley, you have gone too far, do a U turn and go back 200m to Dunbar Street.

If arriving from the north on the Pacific Motorway, exit on the Newcastle Interchange and then turn right at the first set of traffic lights onto Cameron Park Drive, travel approximately 2 to 3 kilometres, turn left at the first roundabout, follow the signs to Cardiff as above.
