Event-Day Parking on North Parade Road in Widcombe
The venue is on North Parade Road, Widcombe, Bath, BA2 4ET, near Kingsmead. The published local parking information for other venues named Recreation Ground cannot be applied to this Bath location, so drivers should use the venue’s own event instructions where supplied.

Parksy lists a 24/7 car park at Holiday Inn Express Bath, a parking lot in Bath, and spaces at Bath Waterside, alongside a car park for non-permit holders.
Event-Day Restrictions Around the Venue

Drivers should follow temporary signs and any steward instructions on the day, because restrictions can be introduced for crowd movement or match traffic. The supplied local authority pages concern Recreation Ground car parks in Stratford-upon-Avon, Swansea, Oxford and Yeovil rather than this Bath venue, so their charges, capacities and operating arrangements should not be used here.
