Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Event-Day Parking at Rod Laver Arena on Olympic Boulevard The venue’s official parking is at the Eastern Plaza Car Park, with entry at Entrance D on Olympic Boulevard (rodlaverarena.com.au). Pre-booking is strongly recommended because drive-up spaces are subject to availability (rodlaverarena.com.au). The official getting-here information identifies Olympic Boulevard as the car park approach, so use the Eastern Plaza entrance rather than assuming every Melbourne Park entry leads to the same facility. ## Event-Day Street Parking Rules Near the Melbourne Venue Street parking around 200 Batman Avenue sits within a busy Melbourne Park event precinct, where access and parking conditions can change for major fixtures. The venue identifies Olympic Boulevard as the approach to Eastern Plaza Car Park and lists limited accessible bays in front of John Cain Arena on Olympic Boulevard (rodlaverarena.com.au). Drivers using nearby streets should allow for event-day controls around Olympic Boulevard and the surrounding Melbourne Park approaches, particularly when large crowds are arriving or leaving. A kerbside space is not a substitute for a booked facility if signs or traffic management restrict stopping, parking or vehicle access. Show map of East Melbourne ## Parksy Parking Spaces Within Walking Distance of RLA Parksy lists an affordable garage space in Melbourne’s CBD, 250 m away, at $20 a day. A secure 24/7 parking space at East End Place is 390 m away and costs $25 an hour, while a secure commercial garage in East Melbourne is also 390 m away at $50 a day. These locations put drivers within a short walk of the venue before and after a show or match. Further options include secure covered parking in Melbourne CBD, 410 m away, at $30 a day, and a secure parking lot in central Melbourne, also 410 m away, at $20 a day. A covered parking space in Melbourne CBD is 450 m away and costs $5 an hour. The 250 m and 390 m spaces are the closest listed choices, while the 410 m and 450 m spaces add only a little more walking after an event. ## Train and Walking Access From Richmond and Flinders Street Richmond is the nearest train station, 940 m from RLA, which is a 12-minute walk. The station is a practical choice for drivers who prefer to leave the car outside the busiest Melbourne Park approaches and continue on foot for the final part of the trip. Flinders Street is another train option, at approximately a 14-minute walk from the venue. Both stations provide a straightforward alternative to event-day driving, especially when a booked car park is unavailable or the final departure is likely to coincide with a large crowd leaving the arena.
