Albert Park Reserve charges $8.20 an hour between 8 am and 5 pm on weekdays, with an $8.20 flat evening rate from 5 pm to 9 pm and a $19.60 weekday all-day rate (parks.vic.gov.au).

Event-Day Restrictions Around Aughtie Drive and Albert Park
Lakeside sits inside Albert Park Reserve, where parking is managed by Parks Victoria rather than the stadium operator (statesportcentres.com.au). The entry address is 31 Aughtie Drive, Albert Park VIC 3206, so drivers approaching for a match or show should use the reserve access roads rather than treating nearby residential streets as overflow parking.
Limited parking beside the ground is also used by MSAC visitors and is often busy, while Albert Road provides another parking area (austadiums.com). The reserve's weekday paid period runs from 8 am to 9 pm through its hourly and evening charges (parks.vic.gov.au), making daytime and evening enforcement relevant around events. Parking at the Lakeside Pavilion is on site and operated by Parks Victoria, with multi-level parking also available and event costs varying (lakesidepavilion.com.au).
