Fitzroy Gardens is also a central Melbourne attraction, so nearby street spaces can be under pressure when visitors and city traffic overlap. Wellington Parade is the key approach to the 298 Wellington Parade address. Coach parking is listed among the attraction’s facilities (visitvictoria.com), which means larger vehicles may need to plan their stopping position separately from ordinary car parking. Use only a marked legal space on surrounding streets and follow the posted restrictions for the exact bay. ## Other Car Parks for a Cooks' Cottage Visit Paramount Car Park identifies a nearby option at 163 Exhibition Street, Melbourne, and lists a maximum fee of $120 (paramountcarpark.com.au).

Wilson Parking also promotes professionally managed locations across Australia in its Cooks' Cottage attraction information (wilsonparking.com.au). The Exhibition Street facility is a separate option from the East Melbourne spaces listed above, although its location means the final approach to Fitzroy Gardens should be planned on foot or by connecting transport. ## Walking and Rail Access to Cooks' Cottage West Richmond is the nearest station listed for Cooks' Cottage.
