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!

Drop-Off Services 

We recommend using a drop-off service where possible for the Christmas Test. Two convenient drop-off locations will operate with a complimentary golf cart buggy service to assist patrons to the gates.   

Drop-off locations :   

• War Memorial Drive (outside Next Gen) – buggy service to the Members’ South Gate   

• Pennington Terrace – buggy service to the Members’ North Gate   

Explore the Drop Off locations here  

Handy Tip: 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. 

Accessible Parking 

A limited number of access-compliant car parks are available in the Adelaide Oval north and east car parks.  

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

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.
