Priestfield Stadium Matchday Parking and Access
Gillingham FC Supporters Club says home and away supporters can use three car parks, each within a 5-10 minute walk of the venue (gfcsc.co.uk). The club’s matchday parking page provides the charges and opening times for these facilities, so they are the most relevant official starting point when you are planning to drive for a fixture.
The club’s visit information lists Balmoral Road, Windsor Road, Ferndale Road and Linden Avenue as restricted to permit holders (gillinghamfootballclub.com). These streets are close to the ground, making an apparently convenient space particularly risky on a busy matchday.
Permit-Holder Streets Around Priestfield in Gillingham
Parking restrictions around Priestfield include residents-only arrangements, according to Away Games’ Gillingham guide (awaygames.co.uk). The restriction applies around the stadium itself, so ordinary street parking is not a dependable matchday plan even when a kerbside space looks available.
Gillingham FC specifically identifies Balmoral Road, Windsor Road, Ferndale Road and Linden Avenue as permit-holder roads (gillinghamfootballclub.com). The club’s visitor guidance also means drivers should treat these streets as controlled areas rather than as overflow parking for supporters. Street parking is mentioned for the wider area, but Away Games still describes the immediate surroundings as subject to a residents-only scheme (awaygames.co.uk).

Parksy lists a secure parking space in Gillingham, 0.4 mi away, at £12 a day. A Stashbee space in Gillingham is 0.7 mi away and costs £28 a month. For a show or match, the 0.4 mi option leaves the shorter walk after the final whistle, while the monthly space suits drivers making repeated visits.
