Car Parking at the Racecourse Ground

There are several parking options around the stadium, although spaces can be limited on matchdays.

Some street parking may be available if you arrive early, particularly around 1pm–1.15pm, but supporters should check local restrictions before leaving their vehicles.

Other options include:

Getting to the Racecourse Ground by Train

Train travel is arguably the easiest way to reach the Racecourse Ground, with Wrexham General railway station located immediately next to the stadium.

Upon exiting the station, turn right and cross the bridge, where the ground will be directly in front of you.

Supporters travelling by rail are advised to plan their journey in advance and check for any timetable changes or engineering works before setting off.

  • Train: Take a taxi or bus from the airport to Liverpool Lime Street or Liverpool South Parkway before continuing by rail to Wrexham General. Some journeys may require a change.

Once you arrive at Wrexham General, the Racecourse Ground is just a short walk away.
