Everyone Active and Sunderland AFC are pleased to announce a new match day parking initiative, to the benefit of people attending either venue.
Following concerns over the misuse of spaces in the Stadium of Light car parks on match days, both parties have worked together to ensure centre users are able to park nearby.
Going forward, SAFC has made 60 spaces available for Everyone Active members and customers to utilise in the BLUE car park area (situated to the left of the Davy Lamp roundabout at the entrance to the stadium park site).
In addition, blue badge holders will be allowed access to the disabled parking spaces within the club’s GREEN car park (next to the SAFC Ticket Office).
Members will be required to show their Everyone Active card to SAFC parking stewards in order to access either the disabled bays or bays in the blue carpark.
On match days, Everyone Active members will be required to vacate these spaces three hours before the start of a match. This is to allow the club to retain specific areas for emergency access and to comply with safety certificate requirements, as well as allowing the club to prepare the stadium for the match and associated events.
Sunderland AFC and Everyone Active are keen to support the local community and all partners within the stadium park site and we hope that the new arrangements meet the needs of all concerned.
Everyone Active members are advised to speak to the Aquatic Centre management team if they have any further queries.
