Parking FAQ's

Frequently asked questions about parking at Sydney Olympic Park.

Major events

How long does it take to leave the car park?

After major events when everyone wants to leave at once, it can take more than 1 hour to exit car parks. Where possible, plan to park at a car park further from your event to get home quicker. We appreciate your patience.

I forgot to pre-book parking for tonight's event. What now?

The pre-book parking system closes at 11:59 pm the day before an event.

Casual parking is generally available during large events.

When you arrive, please follow the signs for available parking.

You can also catch public transport with some tickets including free bus and/or train travel. Visit Transport for NSW for details.
 

What if car parks have reached capacity?

If you did not pre-book your parking, we recommend that you park near one of the train stations or bus stops shown on the map and use public transport to enter Sydney Olympic Park.

Increased services are generally arranged by Transport for NSW on event days. For the most up-to-date public transport information visit https://transportnsw.info/ or call 131 500.

What is a major event?

Major events are generally an individual event or a combination of events that attracts over 50,000 people to the Park. Examples can include AFL and NRL Finals, Sydney Royal Easter Show, State of Origin, Bledisloe Cup, Cricket, Soccer and Rugby Internationals, Accor Stadium concerts and events integrated tickets may operate during a major event.  

What if I ignore parking signs and time limits?

If you park outside a marked bay or ignore parking signs, you may be fined. 

We are a designated Restricted Parking Area.

Can I leave my car overnight and collect it the following day? Does this cost more than one full-day payment?

You can leave your car overnight.

Pre-booking

How far in advance can parking be booked?

Pre-booked parking is available from usually 6 months up until midnight the day before you require a car space. It secures you a car space within your desired Car Park for a 24-hour period. Pre-book parking here.

P1 clearance – 2 metres
