Is parking available at the Morphettville Racecourse?

Yes, attendees are encouraged to utilise The Junction car park (number 3 on the map below) using the Tramgate to access Morphettville. Car park 4 (on Morphett Rd opposite the racecourse, not shown on the map) will no longer be accessible due to a land lease agreement between SAJC and the Department of Infrastructure and Transport (DIT). These sites have been identified as crucial staging sites for the Tram Grade Separation Project which will transform the Morphettville precinct, and the Club have been working with the DIT to ensure a workable outcome for all parties. The changes will likely be in place for up to 12 months. Please note that Saturday is a race day so there will be a high demand for car parks. We encourage attendees to car pool or use public transport wherever possible. If driving is your only option, please aim to arrive early and make use of Car Park 3 accessible from Anzac Highway. ·
