Portsmouth City Council have released a map which shows where the public entrance is as well as where the no-go zones will be.
Members of the public will have to go through security checks to get through the first set of fencing around the common.
This entrance will be near Duisburg Way, while the map also shows that huge chunks of the area will be enclosed with no public access.
