Journey advice for getting to ground (first game for 5 year old)

[Ekimr]

Hi

I attend a few games a season but normally just park up by avenue / cowherds and do the 30 / 40 odd minute walk

For the legends game i will have a couple of 5 year old in tow and looking to somehow get much closer to the ground via public transport or preferably car parks.

I dont think west quay is much better for an answer ..i am not seeing any obvious public car parks much closer

It looks like buses from town centre might be the solution but happy to hear if any car parking solutions nearer to the ground (we normally approach down the avenue but would consider alternative if helped)  

Thanks

Sometimes use multi story car park at ocean village,  there's a shuttle bus that runs from there up to the ground, worth asking club to confirm that will be running on Saturday

On-road parking on Horseshoe Bridge is a potential. Not many spaces, but doable if you arrive at a reasonable time.

It's about 20 mins walk to the ground down the Itchen Riverside Boardwalk.

Walking back to your car will be faster than any other mode of transport - and then you've got direct access to Thomas Lewis Way.

Train is good - there is a St Mary's bus right outside the station (Toys r Us side) on a match day, it's only a couple of quid return

There's the new park and ride at Adanac Park, just off of the M271.

The operate on matchdays but you'd need to check with them to see if the Legends game qualifies.
