Basingstoke Model Boat Club regularly meet at Eastrop Park opposite the business gateway leading into town and two minutes away from the M3 motorway. There are two ponds in the park, the model boat pond is the smaller of the two, to the Eastern end of the park with an adjacent car park just a few yards away.
A diverse group of modellers bring yachts, scale models, steam boats, renowned kits or simple/complex scratch built craft. Add to this people with all manner of boats, purchased from local model shops, specialist shops, the Internet or even retrieved from the attic after rekindling a dormant hobby after a visit to this great boating pond.
Families are able to enjoy many park leisure facilities within this well maintained area which is only a few minutes walk from the vibrant Festival Place shopping centre.
