Travel & Parking

Please be aware of parking signs surrounding the Claremont Showground to avoid receiving an infringement. The Town of Claremont Rangers regularly patrol the area for cars parked illegally, so please be courteous to local residents and park in accordance to the signage.

With the nearby developments still underway parking in the area and near Claremont train station is limited.

To help get around this inconvenience, this year we have a free parcel pick up area at Gate 12 (off Shenton Road) where you can leave an item(s) with us and return later with your car to collect it.

Please also be mindful of your surroundings when you park your car, ensure your car is locked and don’t leave valuables behind. For more information on safety, visit the WA Police website or download their ‘Tougher for Crooks’ information sheet.
