Ashfield Park is just off the A49 (Wigan Road) in Standish, Wigan. Take the turning into Ashfield Park Drive (you'll be surrounded by big trees). After a few yards, you'll see a sign for Ashfield House in front of you, which you should aim for. Just before you enter the house's grounds, you'll see a sign marked "To the playing fields" pointing you to the right. Follow this down the dirt track, and after a very short distance you'll see a car park on the left, and the fields beyond.
NOTE: We have recently been playing on the fields behind the trees, which cannot be seen from the car park. Next to the car park is a row of trees. Go through the trees, down a little hill and keep going forward. The training field is on the other side of the trees, only a minute's walk from the car park.
