Follow the A338 towards Bournemouth. The ground is situated on the left of the A338 in the outskirts of town. You should be able to spot the tops of the ground floodlights on the left. Otherwise leave the A338 via the slip road which is signposted Kings Park/Football traffic. You will then reach a small roundabout at which you take the second exit into Kings Park Drive. The entrance to the stadium and car park are down this road on the left. The car park at the ground is of a good size.

Those travelling by coach will arrive in the car park behind the Ted MacDougall South Stand. Congestion can cause delays when leaving the ground after the game.

College is BH7 6NZ.
Parking is also available to the south of the ground for just £1 for the duration of the match.

Supporters are advised to travel in plenty of time for the game. The fee is payable on entrance to the car park upon production of a valid match ticket. Supporters wishing to park at the ground are advised to arrive early as the car park usually reaches capacity around 75 minutes before kick-off. Supporters may experience delays in leaving the car park after the final whistle. Please be aware, there is a left turn at the exit of the south end of the car park, which will bring you out on to Gloucester Road in Boscombe.
