If you normally park on or near the University Park campus, please note that some car parks and streets will be closed in connection with the annual Regatta on 3 May, as in previous years.

This year, these changes will affect traffic and parking in and around the University Park from 29 April until 6 May. If you normally park in these areas, you will need to find a different place to park during this period.

Check the map to find out where and when streets and car parks will be blocked off, or check the list below. Signs will be put up at the affected car parks as well. These plans are subject to change.

If you have questions, you are welcome to contact staff or volunteers on site.
