YARRA Park will be unavailable for parking for this weekend's Carlton-Sydney and Geelong-Collingwood clashes at the MCG because of ongoing wet conditions.

The car parks were also closed for the Essendon-Collingwood blockbuster on Anzac Day because of rain.

The Melbourne Cricket Club is manager of the car parks, and has decided that the majority of the park would risk damage if used widely for vehicles this weekend. 

“We understand that the loss of parking near the MCG is inconvenient for many patrons, however we have made this decision as early as possible to ensure fans attending events this weekend have sufficient time to adjust their transport plans,” said MCC spokesperson Prue Cichello.

A limited number of spaces will be made available for disabled permit holders, accredited media and emergency services personnel.

All event patrons are encouraged to take public transport to the MCG, or to seek alternative parking in the CBD and surrounding suburbs.
