Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Event-Day Parking at Melbourne Park Event parking is available at the Eastern Plaza Car Park, reached from Entrance D on Olympic Boulevard (melbournepark.com.au). The venue lists an event-day rate of $20 for pre-booked parking and $30 for drive-up parking, compared with a flat $7.50 rate on non-event days (melbournepark.com.au). Pre-booking is strongly recommended because drive-up spaces are subject to availability (melbournepark.com.au). The main entrances to the venue are via Olympic Boulevard or Batman Avenue, while the Eastern Plaza entrance is on Olympic Boulevard (melbournepark.com.au). For a booked space, approach from the signed Olympic Boulevard route and allow time for event traffic before joining the car-park entry queue. The venue spans 40 hectares along the Birrarung and sits close to the CBD and major transport links (melbournepark.com.au). ## Alternative Car Parks Near Melbourne Park [Wilson Parking](https://www.parksy.com/blog/wilson-parking-review-pros-cons-summary-services) lists nearby options including parking on Russell Street Extension, 0.94 km from the venue, with rates from $15, and 11 Exhibition Street, with rates from $11.75 (wilsonparking.com.au). These are useful CBD alternatives when Eastern Plaza is full, although the longer approach can add time after a large event. Secure Parking also operates parking within walking distance of the Melbourne Olympic Parks precinct and provides information about nearby locations and rates (secureparking.com.au). The venue's main access points are Olympic Boulevard and Batman Avenue, so drivers using a CBD facility should allow for the walk back through the precinct after the event (melbournepark.com.au). Show map of East Melbourne ## Street Parking and Event-Day Controls in Melbourne Olympic Boulevard is the entry road for the Eastern Plaza Car Park, while Batman Avenue is another main entrance to the venue (melbournepark.com.au). The venue strongly recommends pre-booking because drive-up spaces are subject to availability (melbournepark.com.au). Use signed parking areas rather than assuming that an empty kerb is available for event parking, particularly around the Olympic Boulevard and Batman Avenue approaches. Entry and exit queues are most relevant when crowds are arriving or leaving, so a private space or pre-booked facility can reduce the need to circulate near the entrances. ## Parksy Parking Spaces Close to the Venue Parksy lists two secure parking spaces 230 m away: covered parking at $30 a day and a secure parking lot at $20 a day. A secure 24/7 space at East End Place is 290 m away and costs $25 an hour. These options keep the walk short for an event in Melbourne, with the 230 m spaces among the closest choices. A garage space in Melbourne's CBD is 320 m away at $20 a day. A secure commercial garage in East Melbourne is 540 m away at $50 a day, while a covered parking space in Melbourne CBD is 550 m away at $5 an hour. The 540 m and 550 m spaces involve a longer walk back after a show or match, but remain within a practical walking range for drivers avoiding venue queues. ## Train and Walking Access to Melbourne Park Richmond is the nearest train station, 780 m from the venue, with a 10-minute walk to 1 Olympic Boulevard. This route provides a straightforward alternative when event-day driving conditions around the entrances are busy. Flinders Street is another train option, approximately a 16-minute walk away. The venue is in Melbourne near East Melbourne, close to the CBD and major transport links (melbournepark.com.au). Walking from either station avoids the need to find a space beside the event entrances and removes the post-event wait to leave a crowded car park.
