Accessible Parking
Accessible Parking is available in the main and south stand car park. The club offers 62 accessible parking spaces on site at Vitality Stadium.
Main Stand
There is no charge for blue badge holders – evidence will be required. Whilst the main car park is largely reserved for VIP’s and hospitality ticket holders, there may be accessible spaces available. If this is the case, stewards will direct supporters to appropriate spaces. It is important to note that there is no guarantee of matchday parking on the basis of being a blue badge holder. All supporters attending matches at Vitality Stadium are advised to arrive early as the car park usually reaches capacity around 2 hours before kick-off.
South Stand
Blue Badge Holders may continue to utilise the South Stand car park and will need to display a valid Disabled Tax Exempt Vehicle parking permit (DTEV) which enables permit holders to park in most BCP off street and pay and display car parks without buying a ticket. Where Blue badge holders do not have a valid DTEV, charges within the South Stand car park will apply.
To find out more about the DTEV please follow the link: https://www.bcpcouncil.gov.uk/Parking/Apply-for-or-renewparking-permits/DTEV-parking-permit/disabled-tax-exemptvehicle-dtev-parking-permit.aspx
Supporters may experience delays in leaving the car parks after the final whistle. Access from both car parks to the stadium is step free.
Restrictions:
Residential roads adjacent to the stadium have parking restrictions and the club asks supporters to please be mindful of existing drive entrances and avoid parking illegally as this can cause particular problems for residents and is a safety hazard. Parking enforcement officers and Police will respond to residents’ complaints and take action.
Please be aware specific sections of Kings Park are no longer available for Blue Badge holders, so please look out for matchday signage to this effect.
