Apparently, the playing field is now for the sole use of the Academy and is surrounded by a 3m high steel mesh fence. Visited on a Sunday & access gates padlocked. May be possible to gain access when the school is open. Unticked.gerrybowes03/09/2023

From the ne end of Kings Tamerton Rd with easy access to flat football pitch.Barbara Singer04/02/2018
Parked in nearby road and took very short stroll to playing field, easily accessed via car park. High point seemed to be in north east corner of field ( OS spot height more in centre) but all fairly level.Denise 18/03/2017
NE corner of sports field behind houses S of King's Tamerton Road. Easy access. A group of youths watched us wih suspicion as we 'surveyed' the edge of the field.RichardM18/03/2017
Public access from NE, Kings Tamerton Rd, hp at hedge junction in corner of public open space, opening in fence leads into playing field where the os spot height is located but pretty level and barely seems higher. Three early morning tumps - this is my final Plymouth UA TumpRHW26/11/2016
Agree with PeterD on this one, Seems to be a definite HP to the W and outside the playing fields.jonglew12/09/2016
