    Parking in/around croker

    Hi, We're travelling to Croker on Wednesday by camper van, is there any place we can park it up without worrying if it'll be broken into or vandalised. It's a new camper van so the guy that owns it is a bit concerned about leaving it on the street. Any ideas where we could leave it? Cheers.

    You should try one of the halting sites around Croke Park , just tell the lads when you park up that you are one of the posh lot from up the country

    You'll be fine in the majority of place but on the Lower or Upper Drumcondra Road from Griffith Avenue to the Tolka would be a good recommendation based on the fact that it's a busy road. If your that worried about it the Drumcondra Road at the Griffith Avenue end has a Garda Station right beside it and there's plenty of parking up along the verge between path and road where the old trees are. 10/15 minute walk to Croker.

    Traffic and parking around the ground for midweek games are huge problems. On a normal wednesday evening traffic is a problem in the area so a match just means gridlock.

    You could park in the Luas P&R o nthe Naas road and get in from there. It will save you a lot of time beforehand but you lose it afterwards.

    no easy answers I'm afraid.

    You could try Clontarf Road Dart Station. There is a big Car Park there. Its about a 15 Minute walk to croker from there. You can get to the M50 from there by taking the malahide road to tesco at clarehall and takung the N32 from there. Should be pretty quiet at that time of night. Just a suggestion.

    You could park in the car park at Tolka House opposite Pyramid church and beside Botanic Gardens. Its about 15 minute walk to Croke Park from there.
    Always look on the bright side of life
