Getting to Tolka

Tolka Park is situated on Richmond Road in Drumcondra on Dublin's Northside. It is easily accessible, being just off the Drumcondra Road, which is the main road to the airport.

Driving to Tolka

From the North of the city....
Follow the Swords Road road from the airport towards the city. This becomes Drumcondra Road at the Whitehall junction. Continue straight, passing the Skylon Hotel on your right. Go through some pedestrian lights and Tolka Park is left at the next lights, on Richmond Road.

There are free car parks in operation near the ground but to get to these you should turn left at Whitehall onto Griffith Avenue, right at the second lights, onto Grace Park Road and this will bring you to the Ballybough end of Tolka Park.

From the city centre...
Follow signs for the airport which will bring you out along Dorset St. which becomes Drumcondra Road. Cross the canal and go under the railway bridge. As you keep driving, you'll pass houses on your left which are back from the road, behind trees. After these houses, you go through a set of lights and over a bridge. Richmond Road is the next right.
