AVLC Parking Restrictions – August, September & October

There will be 2hr parking restrictions in place within the Ascot Vale Leisure Centre carpark during the below event dates.

If you are planning to visit AVLC for longer than 2hrs, you will need to obtain a parking permit (available from Reception upon arrival) to display on your vehicle dashboard. Please be advised that there will be parking inspectors in the area, and will be regularly checking vehicles.

Due to the extra traffic in the surrounding streets, we encourage all AVLC visitors to check traffic conditions prior, and allow for extra travel time where necessary – especially those visiting for swimming lessons, group fitness classes, personal training and Allied Health sessions. In the event that the carpark becomes full, street parking will be required – please observe all parking signage in surrounding streets.
