Parking on Army Reserve Centre, Pelham Drive, L30
We went on grand national day. It was really easy to find, there were plenty of spaces and the man who greeted us was so friendly and helpful. There was a board with further info and his contact number on if needed too. He was there when we got back at the end of the day too asking how our day has been. It’s about a mile if you walk to Aintree so suggest ladies take some flat shoes to walk there and back in. Would certainly recommend the army reserve for Aintree parking.

I would like to thank you for the organisation regarding the car park booking. When we arrived we were greeted and local vital information was provided. This process could not have gone any smoother and added to a wonderful day. We will certainly be booking again next year and any other time we are in the area. Thanks for being so polite and professional.
