As many will be aware parking at dulwich sports ground (DSG), particularly on weekend mornings is a headache. SCST estimate we can accommodate about 40 cars. Volunteers are currently acting as parking attendants on Sunday mornings but it would be greatly appreciated, in order to accommodate your opposition sides within the grounds if you could consider either using public transport or using off street parking in the vicinity of the ground.
Whilst Turney Road tends to be used by residents we have noticed that there tends to be plenty of space on continuation of Turney Road after the railway bridge and on Rosendale Road. We also open the gates at Gallery Road where there is ample opportunity to park on the road.
