The venue’s customer car park offers [free parking](https://www.parksy.com/parking-near-me) for up to three hours, with free parking validated at the Pool reception area (edinburghleisure.co.uk; eism.org.uk). Parking charges apply after the free period: the operator lists £10 for the next two hours and £5 per hour thereafter (eism.org.uk). Unregistered or unpaid stays may result in a £100 fine (edinburghleisure.co.uk). The customer car park is listed as open every day, 24 hours, at 16 Holyrood Park Road, Edinburgh EH16 5BG (maps.apple.com). ## Nearby Parksy Spaces for a Post-Event Walk Parksy lists a secure public car park on Parkside Terrace, 245 yd from the venue, at £12 a day. The distance is short enough for a practical walk after a show or match, while a driveway space in EH9 is 0.3 mi away and costs £12 a day. Three hourly options are listed 0.3 mi away: parking near Ten Hill Place at £4 an hour, a space at Hermits Croft at £4 an hour, and a space near Chancellors Court at £5 a day. A second Hermits Croft option in EH1 is also 0.3 mi away and costs £18.40 a day. These locations give drivers alternatives to the venue car park without relying on on-street availability after an event. Show map of Holyrood ## Other Car Parks and Parking Options Near Southside The [City of Edinburgh Council](https://www.parksy.com/blog/appeal-edinburgh-parking-fine) provides an interactive map for finding parking bays and viewing the hourly price for the area selected (edinburgh.gov.uk). This is the council’s named tool for locating public parking around Southside and the venue’s address on Dalkeith Road. Customer parking at the venue is separately listed at 16 Holyrood Park Road, Edinburgh EH16 5BG, with 24-hour opening every day (maps.apple.com). The venue’s parking information also states that the first three hours are free for customers, followed by £2 for three to four hours and £10 for four hours plus (edinburghnews.scotsman.com). ## Street Restrictions and Enforcement Around the Venue The venue’s parking arrangement is controlled through registration and payment: Edinburgh Leisure states that unregistered or unpaid stays may result in a £100 fine (edinburghleisure.co.uk). Drivers using the customer car park therefore need to validate free parking at the Pool reception area, as required by the travel information published for the venue (eism.org.uk). The City of Edinburgh Council publishes an interactive map showing parking bays and the hourly price for the selected area (edinburgh.gov.uk). ## Rail and Walking Access to Royal Commonwealth Pool St Leonards (Edinburgh) railway station is the nearest station, 0.3 mi from the venue and a 7 min walk. The station gives drivers a straightforward option for leaving the car outside the busiest parking period and completing the final approach on foot. Newington (Edinburgh) railway station is another rail option, around an 11 min walk from the venue. The venue is in Southside, near Holyrood, so both stations serve a walk-in approach to 21 Dalkeith Road without needing to find a space directly outside the pool.
