The train journey takes just over an hour from Exeter St Davids. Click here to plan your journey.

Plymouth Train Station is a 15-20 minute walk through the back of Central Park to Home Park. Alternatively, it’s a 5 minute drive in a Taxi.

Parking

The Milehouse park and ride car park, adjacent to Home Park, is a large and free car park. As it is used by those travelling into the City Centre and by users of the nearby Life Centre, the car park is usually very busy and fills up extremely quickly on matchdays, so very early arrival is essential to secure a space.

There are other parking options in the City Centre and in Plymouth’s other park and ride car parks. There are several pay-and-display car parks in and around the city centre. The closest of these to Home Park is on Stuart Road (PL1 5LH), but there are also several others in the city centre at Western Approach (PL1 1AJ), Theatre Royal (PL1 2TR) and Drake’s Circus (PL1 1EA).

Using park and ride services are also excellent options:

The George Park & Ride - PL6 7HB
Coypool Park Ride - PL7 4TB

Parking at these park and ride car parks is free, and there are dedicated match day special bus services, provided by Plymouth Citybus, which run to and from Home Park on match-days to get you to the game.
