Car Parking & Transport
The site will already be very busy across the weekend regarding car parking as Leeds City Council have a swimming gala taking place. Therefore, if you are able to make alternative travel plans and not travel by car it would be advised to do so.
The best location for Match-day parking is the ‘overflow’ car park which is a right turn off the mini roundabout if you are coming from the Dewsbury Road up Middleton Grove, or straight across from John Charles approach if you are coming from the motorway. The overflow car park is also only a short walk to the South Leeds Stadium main entrance and turnstiles. The car park in front of the main South Leeds Stadium reception is usually busy with general parking for the Tennis and Aquatics centres and also has a 3-hour maximum time limit with potential fines for overstaying the 3 hours.
There are several disabled bays near the South Leeds Stadium entrance and the Aquatics centre for blue badge holders.
Cottingley is the closest train station to the South Leeds Stadium, but the bus links to the stadium are better from Leeds Central Train Station. You can catch the Arriva bus 118A to the South Leeds Stadium from Leeds Train Station (buses leave at 12:40, 13:40 and 14:00 and it takes approximately 18 minutes to get to the stadium).
Stadium Info
Gates will open by 2pm. The South Leeds Stadium is all seater with two tiers. The turnstiles will be open for cash only payments at the tennis centre end only, next to the Phoenix Bar, and turnstiles at John Charles Centre end of the ground will be cashless for pre-purchased tickets only. The seating in the stadium is unallocated. There is a section on the lower tier in front of the Parkside suite which is reserved for hospitality.
