Yarra Park car park closed for remainder of the 2026 AFL season
To prioritise patron safety due to the unstable state of the grassed paddocks and help improve the condition of the heritage-listed Yarra Park following recent wet weather, the Yarra Park car park will be closed for the remainder of the 2026 AFL season, with no drive-up parking available.
Strictly limited accessibility parking at the MCG will only be open to Australian Disability Parking (ADP) permit holders who have pre-purchased parking passes via Ticketek. We apologise for any inconvenience.
