Turn left onto the A259 at Rottingdean High Street and follow the A259 (coast road (Marine Drive). Turn left on Arundel Drive West just before Saltdean Lido.

Parking
Parking is very limited at Hill Park and is usually full at least an hour before kick-off on match days with vehicles from players and officials. It is also very busy on a Sunday when we have several youth team’s and Women’s matches.
Free parking is available in the surrounding streets but we ask spectators to park considerately and responsibly ensuring you do not block driveways and other access.
The surrounding streets, including Coombe Vale, Saltdean Vale, Westfield Road and Tumulus Road are very narrow and are serviced by two buses, please ensure you leave enough access for a double decker bus to pass and do not park in bus stops that are in constant use.
