Parking at The Museum in the Park
The most straightforward choice is the main Stratford Park Car Park, where parking is free (museuminthepark.org.uk). The car park is 260 metres from The Museum in the Park, making it a short walk through the park rather than a drop-off directly at the entrance (museuminthepark.org.uk).
Drivers needing step-free access can use the designated accessible parking bays directly outside the museum (museuminthepark.org.uk). The site is on Stratford Road, Stroud, GL5 4AF, and the museum’s access information identifies Stratford Park Car Park as the principal visitor parking location.

Stratford Park Demand and Surrounding-Street Parking
The main Stratford Park Car Park is likely to be the first choice for visitors because it is free and only 260 metres from the museum (museuminthepark.org.uk). The walk through Stratford Park is short, but demand can build when several park and museum users arrive at the same time.
Drivers should approach the site on Stratford Road and use the named Stratford Park Car Park rather than treating nearby residential or park-side kerbs as overflow. The museum specifically identifies designated accessible bays directly outside the building for eligible users (museuminthepark.org.uk), so those spaces should remain available for visitors who need them.
