Handy Tip for Parents

Heading to the Test Match with the kids? Here’s a simple tip to make your day stress-free:
Before you head out, take a quick photo of your child in the outfit they’re wearing. If you get separated, this photo can help staff reunite you quickly.

It’s just a little extra peace of mind so you can focus on enjoying the cricket and creating great memories together!

Road Closure 

King Williams Road will be closed from 5am - 7pm (ACDT) for Days 1-4 of the Adelaide Test Match. 

Accessible/ Disability Access

For the Test Match, we recommend using a drop-off service where possible.There will be two convenient drop-off points with a complimentary golf cart buggy service to assist patrons to the gates.  

These are located:  

  • War Memorial Drive (outside Next Gen) – with buggies running to the Members’ South Gate  
  • Pennington Terrace – with buggies running to the Members’ North Gate  

Accessible Parking

To assist with traffic flow around the North Gate, Adelaide Oval has reconfigured accessible parking in the north carpark for this year’s Test Match.  

SACA Members who have pre-purchased a carpark and disability permit holders will still be accommodated in the north carpark, with bitumen parks prioritised for those with wheelchair needs. Accessible parking will be located on flat areas of grass, with complimentary pedestrian buggies available for those requiring additional assistance to get to the gates.  

Simply let the friendly car park staff know on arrival that you have access needs, and they’ll be happy to help!  

Recommendation

Due to expected queues, we highly recommend using the South Gate drop-off point on War Memorial Drive. Please only use the North drop-off point on Pennington Terrace if necessary.
