Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Event-Day Parking at National Theatre The venue is at 20 Carlisle Street, at the corner of Carlisle and Barkly streets, in St Kilda near Ripponlea (nationaltheatre.org.au). Its parking map identifies parking areas with 165 spaces, with maximum charges of $13.50 to $16.40 when paying by coins or credit card (nationaltheatre.org.au). A separate parking area is listed with 140 spaces and a maximum charge of $16.40 (nationaltheatre.org.au). The map also lists a 1-hour free period and a $30 maximum, plus a $10 to $35 maximum for stays of 6 or more hours (nationaltheatre.org.au). The venue describes surrounding parking as expensive and metered (nationaltheatre.org.au). For a performance, the practical choice is to allow time for a paid space rather than rely on finding a free kerbside bay close to the entrance. ## Acland Court and Other St Kilda Parking Choices The closest multi-storey paid parking is at Acland Court Village (nationaltheatre.org.au). Acland Court at 183 Barkly Street is near Coles Supermarket (cloc.org.au). Wilson also operates a car park above Coles off Barkly Street, approximately 50 metres down the road (ticketmaster.com.au). [Wilson Parking](https://www.parksy.com/blog/wilson-parking-review-pros-cons-summary-services) lists the 436 St Kilda Road Car Park at 436 St Kilda Road, St Kilda, with rates from $8, and the St Car Park with rates from $4 (wilsonparking.com.au). These named facilities give drivers alternatives to circling Carlisle Street, particularly when a show brings several cars into the surrounding blocks. Show map of Ripponlea ## Parksy Spaces Close to National Theatre Parksy lists a secure driveway space in St Kilda, 110 metres from the venue, at $70 a week. A secure private space with 24/7 access is 140 metres away and costs $1 an hour. A secure 24/7 space at 1 Belford Street is 150 metres away and costs $12 a day. Other listed choices include a Woolworths St Kilda space 220 metres away at $30 a day, a secure covered space 240 metres away at $4 an hour, and a secure 24/7 gated space 260 metres away at $8 an hour. The 110-metre option is a short walk after a show, while the 260-metre option remains a manageable walk through St Kilda when the performance ends. ## Train Access for a Walk to the Theatre Balaclava is the nearest station, 1.1 kilometres away and a 15-minute walk from the venue. Windsor is another train station, approximately a 19-minute walk away. Both approaches avoid the uncertainty of searching for a kerbside bay around the Carlisle and Barkly Street corner. For a performance at 20 Carlisle Street, Balaclava provides the shorter stated station walk, while Windsor offers another rail arrival point for visitors approaching from that direction. The venue is in St Kilda, near Ripponlea, so the final journey is through the local St Kilda streets rather than directly from a city-centre car park.
