York City FC vs Crawley Town 19 Dec 2026

LNER Community Stadium ticket holders should use the Monks Cross Park & Ride, which has 400 parking spaces. For most events, passes for the park & ride car park can be purchased in advance via the event organisers - and this is strongly encouraged - but match day visitors may be able to pay on arrival at smaller events, subject to availability.

The LNER Community Stadium is surrounded by multiple car parks, but visitors should note that these car parks are not for match day ticket holders. The North car park (accessed via Jockey Lane) is for non-match day or leisure centre visitors; stadium ticket holders should not use this car park on match days. Similarly, the stadium's East car park (off Kathryn Avenue) is for staff and stadium personnel only, and should not be used by match day ticket holders. The South car park (officially part of the cinema complex) and Vangarde Shopping Park car parks should also not be used by ticket holders on match days; there will be stricter parking time limits in force within these car parks on match days.

There are also parking restrictions on local and residential roads surrounding the stadium. Instead, visitors not using Monks Cross P&R, should park closer to York city centre, and use public transport to access the stadium.

Disabled parking

There are dedicated accessible parking spaces set aside at all stadium events, but disabled persons who wish to park at the stadium should contact the stadium ticket office directly in advance of their visit: +44 (0) 1904-942-232.

As the stadium is easily accessible by road but parking is at a premium, travelling by taxi is a good option. The most commonly used pick-up and drop-off point is the North car park. 

Multiple bus routes run fans to the LNER Community Stadium, including on match days, with many of these routes going to and from York city centre. Some of the most convenient routes include:

• 20 & Castleline Bus - Vangard Shopping Park (Vangarde Way) bus stop · 500 m (6 min) walk
• 12 & 20 - Huntington House bus stop · 500 m (6 min) walk

The Monks Cross park and ride is also an excellent match day option, with quick, regular services running to and from York City Centre and York central station. Park and ride bus 9 departs every 10 minutes from the city centre, and stops at Monks Cross park & ride car park, less than a 300 m (4 min) walk from the stadium

York station is the city's principal train station; it is located in the city centre, just 15 minutes away from the LNER Community Stadium by taxi, or 30 minutes by bus. Taxis often frequent the station, so it is easy to catch a ride to the venue, and the number 9 bus (Monks Cross park & ride route) departs from just outside the station exit.

If you enjoy a leisurely walk before your sporting events, it is only a 4.8 km (58 min) walk to the stadium from the station, but this may not be the best option for everyone. 

It can take less than 15 minutes to cycle to the stadium from York city centre, and there are multiple cycle routes in the vicinity of the stadium which allow for a pleasant, and often safer journey.

There are over 300 bike stands directly outside the stadium.

There are a good number of walking routes from York city centre, some of which make use of main roads, and some which offer more scenic routes. York is not a large city, and so walking may be a good choice for those travelling from the local area. From central York it is a 3.6 km (43 min) walk to the stadium.
