Important update: New Event Car Park Location At Ellerslie

Important Update: New Event Car Park Location At Ellerslie

From Wednesday 6 November 2024, we’re introducing a new event car parking arrangement to improve your experience when visiting Ellerslie.

Please review the details below and share with any clients or guests who may be attending an event here on your behalf.

New Event Car Park Location

Starting 6 November 2024, event car parking will relocate from our Southern Motorway carpark (formerly accessible via Ascot Avenue) to our new infield carpark, with entry at 16 Derby Downs Place.

Parking remains free of charge.

How It Works

Parking for an event: Please enter at 16 Derby Downs Place, drive through the tunnel and continue on the road until you reach the carpark that is located within the racecourse infield. Once you have parked your car, head on foot to the pedestrian tunnel which will guide you safely beneath the racetrack to reach the event centre. (Please do not cross the racetrack itself). It’s about a 200m walk from the carpark to the Ellerslie Stand (the white building) which will be the first building you will come across.

For a site visit or appointment with an account manager: You can either access our venue via 16 Derby Downs (as above) or we have limited, free, on-site parking outside our administration office, accessible via 100 Ascot Avenue.

Arrival by Foot, Taxi, or Rideshare: Drop-offs and foot access remain available via our entrance at 100 Ascot Avenue.

Accessible Parking

Accessible parking is still available near the event centre. Guests with permits or prior arrangements can use the designated spaces accessible via 100 Ascot Avenue. If you have specific access needs, please contact your account manager to make arrangements.

Why The Change?

This change is due to the sale of the Southern Motorway carpark site, now owned by Simplicity Living, who will be developing the land. In response, we’re pleased to offer a convenient, well-marked alternative for event parking within our infield.
