Raceday & Event Parking

We offer free parking on racedays and for events held at Ellerslie Events in one of two carparks at Ellerslie – either our Members’ Carpark (reserved for the exclusive use of Club members) or our Infield Carpark (all other race & eventgoers). 

All race and eventgoers with the exception of Auckland Thoroughbred Racing Members:

Please enter via 16 Derby Downs Place, drive through the tunnel and continue on the road until you reach the carpark that is located within the racecourse infield.

Once you have parked your car, head on foot to the pedestrian tunnel (or directly to The Infield entry point if you have tickets for that precinct on 26/12), present your raceday tickets to the staff (if you are attending a ticketed raceday) and then walk through the tunnel to reach the grandstand side of the course – please do not cross the racetrack itself.

If you have raceday tickets to collect, you will need to be dropped off at the Ticket Booth via 100 Ascot Avenue.

Please note that the carpark that once ran adjacent to the Southern Motorway is no longer operational.
