We have recently received a number of complaints from residents living near Blackwell Meadows, particularly in the Lakeside area, regarding inconsiderate parking on matchdays. We have also been contacted by our neighbours at the Blackwell Grange Hotel.

Cars parked across driveways or in a way that restricts access cause real problems for local residents and can prevent emergency vehicles from getting through. Supporters are reminded to park responsibly and legally at all times. Vehicles parked illegally or inconsiderately may receive a parking ticket and, in some cases, could be towed away.

On site parking is available at Blackwell Meadows on matchdays at £5 per car, plus spaces available for blue badge holders. You can purchase online in advance or on the day with cash/card (subject to availability). Supporters wishing to park at the ground are strongly encouraged to book advance.

Parking passes can be purchased online via our ticketing portal here:

There is also car parking available in and around the town centre, with a number of options within walking distance of the ground. Full matchday travel and parking guidance can be found here: https://darlingtonfc.co.uk/about/how-do-i-get-to-blackwell-meadows

We also ask supporters to take extra care when crossing roads around the stadium. Following reports of a near miss at a recent home game, please remain alert and use safe crossing points where possible.

Thank you for helping us maintain positive relationships with our neighbours and ensuring a safe and welcoming matchday experience for everyone.
