Parking tips

[ianl]

Hi all. Hoping someone can give some advice on best spots to look for parking around Arden St this arvo. Before you all say take public transport, I'm over 300km away and about to set off to drive down so public transport not an option.
Usually only able to get to a couple of matches a year but clear of local sport commitments today so decided to come down and catch Werribee as well as North tonight.
Don't mind walking a bit, just don't want to drive 4 hours then have to drive around for another half hour trying to find somewhere to park. Any advise appreciated, Cheers.

Eithad is only 2.5 kms from Arden St, so you can park there early for the game and walk.

As SpiderBurton22 said above - Etihad.
Also consider the parking garages in the Spencer St area as I'm sure after the game you'll just want to head straight home.

Try some of the residential streets around West Melbourne off Kings way or Spencer st. Longer walk to Arden but you can lunch / coffee in Errol st. Walk back to Etihad and then not so long back to car and home.

Have a look for a car park along tram route 57. Get off at Arden/Abbotsford St. Walk towards
The ground

Don't park under Etihad though - expensive and takes forever to get out. If you dot mind paying about $17 there are a couple of parking stations off Aurora Lane. Then you could walk quickly to Southern Cross station and travel one stop to North Melbourne station to cut down the walk to the ground. And you have your car very handy after the game.

Great work coming all that way to the game. Kudos.

Otherwise there should be a couple of smaller/cheaper parking stations around West Melbourne, so about 10 minutes walk from Etihad and about 20 from Arden St, but I haven't done that for a few years so I'm less confident they are still there.

I don't mind the extra $10 to park under Etihad. It's just a straight run out onto the West Gate for me.

There are also a few car parks about a block away from The Nixon that are cheaper.

Park around the boundary line at Arden Street and blow your horn for Werribee goals.

Then just drive to Etihad and do the same.

Thanks for helpful replies. Meeting my son at NM train station and found plenty of parks in Laurens St within a minute of ground. Hopefully see 2 good wins.

 

[Twinkletoes]

If a shower rolls in just do as the locals do and carjack an Audi for the short drive to Etihad later.

In all seriouslyness though, it sounds like you have it all sussed out now. Enjoy the day and the wins!

SpiderBurton22 travels from Warrnambool...there are a lot that comes from North Victoria.

I don't think City folk appreciate the effort and care needed to attend City games when you get ****ed fixturing.

 

[Zebrah]

Now ianl you can repay this board for the useless parking tips with running Werribee updates...

Make sure you turn the engine off. Put the park brake on.

Don't forget to grab your keys.

Leave it in gear (or reverse if facing down a hill) or in park if its an auto.

A bit of blue tack on the back window can really help with lining up those tricky reverse parks.

Make sure you .... okay I'll show myself out.

This year is a shocker for me. Sunday games are crap and of the Saturday games we've got, one is my birthday, another is my son's so I'll be lucky to see 4 games live.
