Gather Round 2026

[slider95]

I booked an AirBnB in Hahndorf - it's on the Melbourne side of Adelaide so 'closer' for driving.

Not sure if they run busses into AO from there, you can check. I believe they run them from Mt Barker so perhaps you could try there?

Some good suggestions here... thanks folks. I think I'll prob go down this route and potentially even drive to the ground and get wilson parking nearby...

At the Adelaide Oval, I always park to the east of the ground along the river. It's pay parking at first but if you keep going you'll eventually find some free parking.

There's some nice sporting ovals and parks to walk through to the ground so it's a pleasant and convenient spot.

Should’ve advertised this week as Victoria Round.
Feel like AFL missed a beat selling this week.
7 games in Victoria. Geelong to Marvel.

You do realise that's 2H event parking and you're likely to get pinged.



ps. If you're going a Sunday - Go Plane Tree Drive/Botanic Drive - Free on Sundays.
ANd if it's a night game - Victoria Drive can be a good option.

But tbh, Adelaide's parking is quite well priced.
SOme carparks are a bitch to get out of (The one on Gawler Place, and the one next to the private hospital in North Adelaide - Not Calvary, the other one) so avoid them like the plague.

If I drive, I go to UPark Frome, but UPark Rundle also good.
If you're staying south/west I think UPark Topham is a good one. For a showdown I did the markets and it was good. Nice and quiet when leaving.

I don't mind paying $20 - $30 to get secure car parking...
Do you suggest pre-booking Wilson Parking nearby to the ground or are there enough secure car park options that don't require pre-booking?

Yes I mean beyond the orange section.

Eventually it peters out into unrestricted parking - or at least it did last time I was there last year.
