## Event-Day Parking at the RDS Arena on Anglesea Road

The RDS operates car parking on a fee-paying basis, with daily parking and event parking subject to availability. The venue lists parking for €10 per day for event visitors (rds.ie). The Anglesea Road car park is listed as operating Monday to Friday from 7am to 7pm (rds.ie), so weekday daytime visitors should allow for those stated operating hours.

Event parking can be particularly important for concerts, matches and exhibitions because availability is subject to demand. The RDS identifies Anglesea Road as a car-park location, while [APCOA](https://www.parksy.com/blog/apcoa-parking-united-kingdom-review-pros-cons-summary-services) lists an RDS concerts and events parking code priced at €10 for one day (apcoaconnect.ie). Drivers heading to an event should plan around the venue's stated availability rather than assume a space will be waiting on arrival.

## Parksy Parking Spaces Near the RDS in Ballsbridge

The closest priced Parksy option is a 24/7 public parking space in Dublin D4, 360 metres from the venue, at €100 a month.

A secure 24/7 gated parking lot in Dublin is 840 metres away and costs €20 a day. Two Walkinstown spaces are 1.2 kilometres away, each priced at €1.20 an hour. Shelbourne Park listings in Ringsend are 1.5 kilometres away and cost €2.50 an hour. The Walkinstown and Shelbourne Park options suit drivers willing to trade a longer walk for an alternative to parking beside the venue.

## Street Parking Restrictions Around Anglesea Road and Ballsbridge

The venue's own information identifies Anglesea Road as a car-park location and states that RDS car-parking facilities operate on a fee-paying basis (rds.ie). Event visitors therefore need to distinguish a marked, paid facility from ordinary kerbside parking around the Ballsbridge streets.

The RDS lists parking and venue access facilities for people with disabilities, including designated disabled parking spaces (rds.ie). Drivers using accessible parking should use the venue's designated facilities rather than treating nearby residential kerbs as event parking.

## Claremont Parking and UCD Alternatives to the RDS Car Park

Claremont Parking in Ballsbridge advertises event parking a five-minute walk from the RDS (claremontparking.ie). It is a named alternative for drivers who want to leave the immediate venue car park area while staying close enough for a short walk to an event.

For the Dublin Horse Show, the event's parking guidance directs drivers to the UCD car park at a daily rate of €20, with the venue less than five minutes away according to the event operator (dublinhorseshow.com). The same guidance states that parking is not available in the RDS during that event (dublinhorseshow.com), making UCD the relevant named alternative for those dates.

## Walking From Sandymount Railway Station to the RDS

Sandymount railway station is the nearest station to the venue, at 580 metres and an eight-minute walk. The station provides a practical alternative for visitors who would rather avoid event-day driving and the pressure around Anglesea Road.

The RDS is in Ballsbridge, with the venue 280 metres from Ballsbridge centre. From Sandymount, the eight-minute walk is short enough for many concert, match and exhibition visitors, while arriving by rail avoids the need to find a space immediately beside the grounds.
