Parking suggestions

kickittokosi!!!! · Sun 17 May 2009 3:47pm

Hi fellow saints supporters,

I'm driving to the dome today (sick of connex), can anyone suggest a convenient place to park (without costing an arm and a leg)?

Cheers for any help,

GO SAINTS!

The carpark next to the police station at the World Trade Centre in Flinders Street is usually $10. About a 500 metre walk to the stadium.

There is a little carpark on the corner of Dudley & Addeley Sts. It costs $10 and is very secure. From there it is a short walk past the assessment prisons on to the Latrobe St bridge and into the ground !!

Both options are better than paying the $25 that Collo charges !!

If you are lucky it will only cost you an arm.

Plenty of free parking in North Melbourne. 10 minute walk to the ground.

Sssshhhh

I think you mean East Melbourne ?
In the blocks behind Festival Hall ?

But please don't tell anyone !

There is also some free parking on the other side of the Yarra when you cross that new wheel-chair friendly pedestrian bridge that goes in a bit of a loop and go a bit further on across the major intersection into the side streets.

But keep that quiet too !!!!

Who remembers traveling to Moorabin by car looking for that prime park in the side streets. And the home owners offering up their front lawns for parking - I think the going rate was $1 a car

That would be West Melbourne. Festival Hall is in West Melbourne. Dallas Brooks Hall is in East Melbourne.

Roslyn Street

$13 at the bottom of Little Collins Street. (Near the intersection of Little Collins/Spencer Street). Always open during TD games - closes a couple of hours after the match.
2 minute walk to the pedestrian overpass to TD.

Very easy to get out of, just go up Little Collins until you hit Kings, and then you've got Monash Freeway/Citylink.

I'm two minutes from Moorabbin and people used to park in our street.

I can't imagine how good it would be if we played there still. Would be perfect.

Not Moorabbin (as i am to young) But at Eden Park in Auckland, there is always some bloke in an Auckland jersey on a couch selling spots on his front lawn cooking a BBQ.

Dunno if the restrictions have changed, but Adderley Street between Dudley St and Latrobe St has meter parking that, the last time I used it, finished at 5pm weeknights and 12 noon Saturdays

5-10 min walk to the ground across the Latrobe St bridge
