Gloucester Park

[Block 322]

Took up the Freo Email offer (70 Dollars), of Parking at Gloucester Park, refreshment areas open and a short walk across the New Bridge.
Reading now (Wa Today) that Gloucester Park is fenced off and there's no direct access to the Bridge and you have to walk in the WACA direction and then access the River and Bridge !
Anyone know how long the walk is now and are the refreshment areas open at Gloucester Park ?

I'm told about 600 metres but I like you will find out on Sunday.

Maybe they need to build a tunnel from GP to the new stadium, underneath the fence.


Seems rather pointless to me, they fenced it off so they don't need to have a controlled pedestrian crossing. Why not just build a set of traffic lights with a pedestrian crossing FFS and just turn them on during match days. They are the Main Roads department, they can build anything they like.

$70 for parking?????? That's crazy!

20 bucks over at Belmont Park. We used to park at Perth Mod for $10 so an extra 10. We live in the bush and have a 3 hour drive so need to make a quick get away.

It's for all remaining games, not just one game. Still expensive though.

Anyone received Parking Permit from Wa Harness Racing yet ?

Wonder if Freo have binned the Parking fiasco

Or they could let people cross a road by themselves.

We're talking a couple of dozen buses over 2 hours? It's not exactly peak hour on the freeway.

That's why I'm parking at Richmond Raceway.

I received an email from Gloucester Park today saying they have reached a compromise has been ached on the access to the bridge. Still can’t just cross straight over the road where the buses leave from but instead have to head about 200m north on the GP side of Nelson Crescent before crossing and heading to the bridge. Looks ok on the map really but a crossing guy at the car park exit would still be easier..

Bump: So what's the story here? It says 15 dollars a ticket but is that per car or occupants of the car?

Per car I would think
