Limited parking is available in Moore Park Area 2 and Kippax carparks, the SCG Gold Members car park and the Entertainment Quarter car park. Parking Fees apply to these event car parking areas.
It is best to access parking areas via Lang Rd off Anzac Parade. Both the RTA and the Trust place traffic signs on major arterial roads leading into these areas to direct traffic flow and alert motorists when parking areas are full.
