GENERAL INFO:

Parking – we don’t have access to the carpark at the track until after 1:30pm. The carpark will be roped-off in the morning and Rowans Road will also be busy, therefore the best place to park will be at the back of Holmesglen Hospital (parking fee approx. $6 per day). Entry to the carpark is off South Road – search for “Guardian Childcare & Early Learning Centre – Moorabbin” in Google Maps. There is a lane for entrance to the back of the track. There is also street parking in Joan Street at the back of the track, with access to the track through Joan Lane.
Warm up area – we also don’t have access to the oval next to the track until after 1:30pm, therefore we’ll need to use the other half of GR Bricker Reserve, which is across Rowans Rd. The road is busy – please safely escort your children across the road.
