Coach and minibus parking has a small allocation in the Blue car park and must be booked in advance for Rugby World Cup events (rugbyworldcup.com). A free Park and Ride scheme operates on match days for both home and away supporters (eventtravel.com). ## Sunderland Retail Park and Matchday Alternatives The named alternatives include the Sunderland Retail Park area, a 0.2-mile Parksy space in SR6 priced at £6 an hour. A Holiday Inn space in SR1 is 0.5 miles away and priced at £3.70 an hour. Both give drivers a pre-arranged alternative to relying on venue parking. Further options include a Southwick Health Centre space priced at £3.20 a day and a St Bede Medical Centre space in Roker priced at £3 a day, each 0.5 miles from the venue. A secure 24/7 parking lot in Sunderland is 0.6 miles away and priced at £7.50 a day, while a Hendon Health Centre space is 0.6 miles away at £2.17 an hour. EventTravel lists matchday Park and Ride as free for home and away supporters (eventtravel.com). Coach and minibus users have a separate advance-booking arrangement for the Blue car park (rugbyworldcup.com). Show map of Sunderland ## Permit Streets and Event-Day Enforcement in Monkwearmouth Repeater signs are placed in all streets within the scheme, so the restriction applies beyond the immediate approach to the ground (sunderland.gov.uk). The council’s event and home match parking information makes the permit system particularly relevant when traffic builds around Millennium Way and the surrounding Monkwearmouth streets (sunderland.gov.uk). A space outside the controlled area can therefore be more practical for a driver who wants to avoid looking for a permitted roadside bay during a fixture or event. ## Parksy Spaces for the Walk Back After a Match The closest listed Parksy option is a Sunderland Retail Park parking space in SR6, 0.2 miles away, priced at £6 an hour. The Holiday Inn space in SR1 and the Southwick Health Centre space are each 0.5 miles away, priced at £3.70 an hour and £3.20 a day respectively. A secure 24/7 parking lot in Sunderland is 0.6 miles away at £7.50 a day, while the Hendon Health Centre space is 0.6 miles away at £2.17 an hour. Those distances make the walk part of the plan after a show or match, with the 0.2-mile Retail Park option the shortest listed approach and the 0.6-mile spaces the longest listed approaches. ## Sunderland Station and the Walk to the Venue Sunderland is the nearest station, 0.6 miles from the venue with a 13-minute walk. Park Lane is another rail station, around a 17-minute walk from the venue. The two stations give drivers who choose a more distant parking space an alternative final leg by rail or on foot, depending on where they leave the car. The address is Millennium Way, Monkwearmouth, Sunderland, SR5 1BW.
