Parking In Cbd For Formula 1 On Sunday - What To Do

[vkadam]

Hi guys

I am sure there are some people on here going to F1 on Sunday.What is generally the best thing to do for parking? I will be staying in Kew.

I had a look here:

It says park in the 70,000 car spots in the CBD and catch the express trams. I am just wondering if given the huge number of people going to F1 if all these spots will be taken heaps early.

Most of the Wilson parking carparks tend to be quite pricey at about $55 per day.

There are car parks here that you can book in advance which look pretty cheap:

So can anyone from Melbourne who knows what the situation is, give me a bit of advice?

Any help much appreciated.

Public transport from Kew to southern cross station.

Then just get on a tram, it's all clearly marked for the GP, what gates they go to etc.

Forget trying to drive and park.

I managed to find a street with untimed parking yesterday, right next opposite of gate 1&2.

Harold St.

Just park in middle of the lake.

On the tram on my way to the GP today, I saw plenty of spots along St Kilda Rd around the Shrine.

You can either take the tram from there or walk 2km to the track.

Parked at crown casino on Friday, loads of spots, cheaper than Wilson & close to gp trams. But yeah grab a train in if possible.

f**k driving. Public transport all the way.

It only works when there's a major event going on.

Other times, don't bother...
