From the North
Follow the M6, exiting onto the M42 towards London, Warwick and Solihull, exiting at junction 3a onto the M40. Leave the M40 at junction 9, taking the A31 / A34 exit. At the Wendlebury Interchange, take the 3rd exit onto the A34 towards Oxford / Newbury.
At the roundabout, take the 3rd exit onto the M3. Follow the M27 and A31, exiting onto the A338 towards Bournemouth. Take the exit towards Boscombe, taking the 2nd exit at the roundabout, into King’s Park Drive. The ground is on the left.
From the South East
Follow the A27, M27 and A31, exiting onto the A338 towards Bournemouth. Take the exit towards Boscombe, taking the 2nd exit at the roundabout, into King’s Park Drive. The ground is on the left.
From the South West
Follow the A35 to the A338. On the A338 take the slip road to the Springbourne Roundabout signposted King’s Park. Take the 3rd exit off the roundabout and at the fire station stay in the left hand lane and turn left onto Holdenhurst Road. Stay to the left and go straight through at the traffic lights (the Queens Park Pub should be on your right). Take the third exit at the small roundabout and into Kings Park itself.
Parking
There's a car park behind the new south stand - but be wary of delays in getting out after the game has ended. There's paid-for parking at the Sovereign Centre on Christchurch Road.
Nearest Station
The nearest rail station is Pokesdown, which is about a mile from the ground. Come out of the station and turn right down the Christchurch Road (A35) for 400m and then right into Gloucester Road. Follow the street to the end and you will see the ground from here.
Or, a bit further afield is Bournemouth Central, which is a 30-minute walk to the ground. Leave the station by the south exit, (facing Asda) and turn left to head towards the main road. Turn left again and walk straight up Holdenhurst Road for around 25 minutes, until you reach a roundabout at which you turn right into Kings Park Drive. The ground is on the left.
Check train times and tickets at The Trainline. For more information, call National Rail Enquiries on 08457 48 49 50.
The ground offers the usual football grub of burgers, hot dogs, pies and sausage rolls.
If you fancy a cheap pint, then pop into the Wetherspoon's on Christchurch Street, in Boscombe. Next door is Mello Mello bar and the Shark's Bite on the same road - and all are about 15-minute walk to the ground. Beer, bitter, cider and small bottles of wine can be bought in the away end.
This small, compact stadium was rebuilt in 2001, with the pitch rotated to make way for three brand new single-tiered stands. The undeveloped end behind the goal was rebuilt with a new stand in the summer of 2013.
Away fans are seated in half of the Energy Consulting East Stand which runs along the side of the pitch with an allocation of 1,500 to 2,000. The view from here is good, along with the acoustics, and the facilities are generally fine.
We all hate Brighton & Hove Albion,
We hate Reading too (they're sh*t!)
We hate Pompey and Scummers,
But Bourenmouth we love you!
Stand up if you hate Brighton!
