The many pedestrian/cycle gates around Centennial Park's perimeter are always open. A walk or cycle from the city, through Hyde Park and along Oxford Street to Paddington Gates, is a great way to arrive here.

Public Transport

When planning a visit to Moore Park, remember you can buy a Moore Park Link Ticket from any CityRail station which includes train and bus travel to Moore Park. These Link Tickets are available at most CityRail stations with a ticket office.
Buses have priority over cars to make it a quick trip. Regular buses that service the Moore Park area are listed above in the 'By Bus' section on this webpage.
During major events, special shuttle buses operate on dedicated bus lanes between Central Station and the new Moore Park Bus Station. For information on Moore Park event shuttle bus services visit the Events page of the Transport Infoline website.
You may prefer to walk to Moore Park from Central Station (best via Devonshire Street) or catch a taxi (taxi ranks at Chalmers St to Moore Park from Central and from outside Driver Avenue on return journey).

Travelling by Car
For those who decide to travel to events at Moore Park’s sporting and entertainment venues by car, there are special parking areas set aside for major events. Limited parking is available in Moore Park Area 2 and Kippax carparks, the SCG Gold Members car park and the Entertainment Quarter car park. Parking Fees apply to these event car parking areas.
It is best to access parking areas via Lang Rd off Anzac Parade. Both the RTA and the Trust place traffic signs on major arterial roads leading into these areas to direct traffic flow and alert motorists when parking areas are full.
Significant discounts apply to Moore Park East Event Parking charges when there is four or more passengers in the car. This is to encourage car pooling and thus decrease traffic congestion around major events.
We recommend that if you are intending to drive to a Moore Park event, try to arrange to share a ride with friends and do your bit to conserve the environment. For a better travel experience we also suggest planning to arrive earlier and leave later from events (why not try out some of the enticing dining and relaxation options on offer in at the Entertainment Quarter?).
