Football matches is exactly what Portland Park was meant to be used for!
Here is some guidance on how to get to & from the ground in the safest & easiest way possible.
WHERE TO ENTER & EXIT THE GROUND
The turnstiles at the main gates will be open at the very latest of an hour before the match kicks off, or for the Youth Academy matches the main gates will be thrown open to welcome everyone in.
Vehicle traffic via the front gates is restricted to those with additional accessibility requirements, due to a limitation of space and to allow SCRAN the courtesy of not encroaching on their business operations.
CAR PARKING
Portland Park has a very small car park which can accommodate guests, players and staff only for matches. Limited street parking is available around the ground, however.
Please be as considerate as possible to our neighbours when entering or exiting the ground and make sure to keep footpaths unobstructed for wheelchairs and pedestrian access.
OVERFLOW PARKING
As mentioned, space in our car park is limited, so if there are no obvious spaces then please move to one of these options below – all of which are only a few minutes walk (at the most) from the ground.
NORTH SHORE CAR PARK
Overflow parking is available in the public car park on North Shore Road (KA10 6QT) pictured above, which is an easy walk just a few minutes from the ground.
ACADEMY STREET CAR PARK
Overflow parking is also available in the public car park on Academy Street (KA10 6HR) pictured above, which is an easy walk just a few minutes from the ground.
GILLIES STREET
Limited parking is also available in the nearby Gillies Street (KA10 6QH) which is very close to the ground, although please do respect our neighbours when parking.
Please note that we do not take any responsibility for vehicles left at the ground, in public car parks or on the street.
SUPPORTER’S / TEAM BUSES
For organisers of supporters buses, or for team buses, you are welcome to drop off at the ground ahead of the match (in a safe, unobtrusive place) but the best place to park during the match is in the large lay-by on Dundonald Road (KA10 7AP) at the junction of Ottoline Drive, beside the cemetery.
