Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Centre Car Park Access at Moonee Valley Racecourse On-site public parking is available in the centre of Moonee Valley Racecourse, with entry through Gate 7 on Wilson Street or via Pattison Street and Dean Street (thevalley.com.au). The Spring At The Valley guide identifies Gate 6 on Dean Street as another entry to the Centre Car Park (thevalley.com.au). Racecourse parking is limited in the infield and centre car park, and drivers must leave by 7pm (thevalley.com.au). The site is currently closed while redevelopment work continues on The Valley of Tomorrow (thevalley.com.au), so the current access arrangements matter more than the usual centre-of-track layout when planning a visit. ## Named Parking Alternatives Around Moonee Ponds The Centre Car Park is not the only arrangement associated with the venue. Infield parking is available in both non-racing and racing modes, with access from Dean Street only in the redevelopment precinct information (thevalley.com.au). This gives drivers attending outside a standard race-day pattern a specific approach through Dean Street. The Ladbrokes Cox Plate guide states that there is no public parking on course, while complimentary public parking is available at Flemington Racecourse for race-day ticket holders (thevalley.com.au). Entry is through Stables Drive Entrance off the named approach in that guide (thevalley.com.au). Show map of Moonee Ponds ## Parksy Spaces Within Walking Distance of the Site Parksy lists a driveway space in Moonee Ponds, 500 metres from the site, at $6.50 a day. A secure garage in Moonee Ponds is 700 metres away and costs $8 an hour, while another 24/7 parking space in Moonee Ponds is 800 metres away at $6 an hour. Further options include a Brunswick West driveway space 830 metres away at $3.50 a day and a secure car stacker in Moonee Ponds 900 metres away at $11.52 a day. A secure covered space in Moonee Ponds is 920 metres away and costs $6 an hour. ## Race Days, Redevelopment and Surrounding Street Pressure Parking pressure is highest around racing and major carnival days, when the club's normal on-course arrangements can be replaced by event-specific controls. The Ladbrokes Cox Plate FAQ says vehicles should use Stables Drive Entrance off its nominated approach, while the event guide says there is no public parking on course (thevalley.com.au). For ordinary visits, the club describes parking as limited in the infield and centre car park and requires vehicles to leave by 7pm (thevalley.com.au). Entry points named by the club are Gate 6 on Dean Street, Gate 7 on Wilson Street and Pattison Street access (thevalley.com.au). These streets can become the practical bottlenecks around MVR, so a booked nearby space avoids relying on the limited infield supply. ## Walking From Essendon Station to the Racecourse Essendon is the nearest station to Moonee Valley Racecourse, at 1.7 kilometres from the venue and a 21-minute walk. The station option suits visitors who would rather avoid the centre car park and the event-day approach streets. The racecourse address is 34A Thomas Street, Moonee Ponds VIC 3039. From Essendon, the 21-minute walk provides a straightforward station-to-venue alternative for race meetings and other visits, while drivers can use a Parksy space closer to the site before continuing on foot.
