Logistics
Parking
While there is parking directly in front of The Gaming Arena, it fills up fast. The nearby blocks contain plenty of parking though, so you should be able to easily find an option by driving around.
That being said, we recommend car pooling as much as possible to minimize the number of cars parked in the area.
Public Transport
The closest train station is Merlynston Station, which is part of the Upfield Line. From Merlynston station, it’s about a 15 minute walk to The Gaming Arena. We’ve included walking directions from the station to GA below:
