Where do I park on an event day?

The stadium says there is generally no public parking on site on event days, and points drivers to the Parramatta Council parking finder for the public parking stations close to the venue. It warns that traffic volume and demand for event parking nearby are usually high, so plan both your trip and your parking. Roads approaching the stadium are busier than usual, so allow extra travel time and check Live Traffic NSW.

• Accessible parking: a limited number of mobility spaces are available in the stadium’s northern car park on event days.
• Registration: online registrations for mobility parking open ten days before each event, subject to when events are confirmed.
• Permit details: you need to provide your mobility parking scheme permit number, and the permit must be displayed.

Where do taxis and ride shares stop?

The stadium says the two closest taxi drop-off and pick-up points are Marist Place near Victoria Road and Villers Street near Victoria Road, each a short walk away. For ride shares, check the Transport for NSW website for road closures and exclusion zones. It also notes that O’Connell Street may be closed to traffic immediately after an event so that patrons can leave safely.

Is there transport advice for a specific tournament or match?

This guide covers the venue itself: how to reach it and what its car park costs. Match-by-match transport is a separate topic. For the Rugby League World Cup, see our guide to getting to Allianz and CommBank Stadiums for the tournament, which was written for those fixtures.

What if I am going to Parramatta Park or Riverside afterwards?
