  • Parking on Penistone Road, S6

    Ideal for match parking at Hillsborough, around a ten minute walk from the ground No issues parking, nor getting out of the car park at the end Be aware that the traffic on Penistone Road post match can be very busy though There is free street parking around this area too, but isn't guaranteed to be available

  • Parking on Holme Close, S6

    Owner came out to speak to us when we arrived and gave us directions on how to get to the football stadium, very helpful. Space was easy to get into and felt comfortable leaving our car there.

    Jordan
  • Parking on Southwood Grove, S6

    Space isn't marked clearly, had to park in a neighbouring spot as the spot I was supposed in was taken... Couldn't get in touch with owner. Good location for Hillsborough, however if anyone struggles walking not ideal as up a very steep hill.

    Easy to find and not far from where we needed to be.

    Graham
  • Parking on Penistone Road, S6

    It was easy to find a space and the parking warden came to check I had paid for a space, as he didn’t want me getting a fine (I had pre-booked and paid) Will definitely use again!
