To preserve the condition of the heritage-listed Yarra Park, there will be no parking available in Yarra Park for this weekend's Round 21 matches.
Car parking will be unavailable for Saturday's match between Collingwood and Carlton, and Sunday's match between Essendon and Fremantle.No general public, accessibility, staff or accredited parking will be permitted in Yarra Park this weekend.
This decision is due to the recent wet weather conditions and inclement forecast, making Yarra Park waterlogged and unsafe for parking cars in its current state. Please see the additional information below to find the best route to the MCG this weekend.
