Published by Radio Haanji 1674 AM | Updated: March 2026
If you are heading to the 38th Australian Sikh Games in Melbourne this Easter weekend, sort your transport plan now — not on the day. The venue is at the State Netball and Hockey Centre in Parkville, crowds are expected in the tens of thousands across three days, and parking near the ground is genuinely limited. A representative from the organising committee joined Radio Haanji 1674 AM to walk through exactly what attendees need to know. Here is everything from that briefing, plus the full official transport picture.
The Honest Truth About Parking at the Venue
Let's get this out of the way first: there is no public parking at the State Netball and Hockey Centre on event days.The on-site car park is reserved for access pass holders only. A drop-off zone is available at the front of the venue, but if you are driving yourself and expecting to park at the gate, you will need to change your plan.
The organising committee has been clear about this. The Games draw over 100,000 attendees across three days, and the precinct simply cannot absorb that volume of cars. Over 2,500 parking spaces are available within walking distance across nearby car parks and street parking in Carlton and Parkville — but they fill up fast on Easter weekend, when Melbourne is already busy.
Carpooling: The Organisers' Primary Message
The parking committee representative who spoke to Radio Haanji made this the central point: please carpool.
If your family is coming from the same address or the same suburb, travel in one vehicle. If your club has members coming from the same area, coordinate before the day. Every car that stays home frees up a space for someone who needs it — families with elderly members, attendees coming from further away, people who simply have no other option.
This is not a polite suggestion. It is the practical difference between a smooth arrival and spending 45 minutes circling Carlton looking for a spot.
Nearby Car Parks (10–15 Minute Walk)
If you are driving, these are your best options. None of them are at the door — plan for a 10 to 15 minute walk to the venue from most of these.
University and major car parks:
University Square Car Park – Carlton
Eastern Precinct Car Park, University of Melbourne
Royal Parade / Kenneth Myer Car Park – Parkville
Public car parks:
Care Park – Faraday Street
Care Park – Grattan Street
Arrive early if you are targeting these. On a normal day they have capacity. On Easter Saturday with a major community event on, the picture changes quickly.
On-Street Parking: Available, But Read the Signs
Street parking is available across Carlton and Parkville. Streets that have spaces include Faraday Street, Grattan Street, Queensberry Street, Drummond Street, Cardigan Street, Bouverie Street, and various side streets off Lygon and Rathdowne.
Here is where the parking committee's warning matters most: the local Council is strict. Do not park in front of private driveways. Do not park in any zone marked with time restrictions or permit requirements unless you meet them. Fines in this area are not light, and there will be no appeals process on the day.
Check every sign before you leave the car. If it looks ambiguous, it is safer to find another spot.
Volunteer Sevadars: Follow Their Instructions
Dedicated volunteers will be stationed throughout the streets around the venue to help direct traffic and guide drivers to available spaces. This is a seva contribution from community members giving up their Easter weekend to make the event run smoothly.
If a sevadar is directing you to a particular area or asking you not to park somewhere, please follow that instruction. It is not a request — it is part of the organised traffic management system the committee has set up. Ignoring them creates delays for everyone behind you.
Shuttle Service for Elderly Attendees and Families with Young Children
This is a detail that will matter to a lot of families: the organising committee has arranged a shuttle service specifically for elderly attendees and families with young children who are parking further away.
Two routes, nine buses, with a frequency of three to five minutes during event hours.
The shuttle connects parking areas on the outer edges of the precinct directly to the main venue entrance, meaning you do not need to walk 15 minutes if you have grandparents or prams in tow. The buses will be clearly marked and volunteers will be on hand to direct people to the shuttle pick-up points.
If you are bringing elderly family members, this changes your approach — park at a more distant (and more likely available) spot, and use the shuttle rather than trying to squeeze into the closest car park.
Public Transport: The Recommended Option
The organising committee, the official event website, and anyone who has navigated Melbourne on Easter weekend will tell you the same thing: take the train.
Train — Royal Park Station is the Winner
Royal Park Station on the Upfield Line is approximately a two-minute walk from the State Netball and Hockey Centre. That is it. Get off, walk two minutes, you are there.
From different parts of Melbourne:
North (Craigieburn, Upfield, Mernda, Hurstbridge): Take the Upfield Line direct to Royal Park Station. Or travel to Melbourne Central, then catch Tram 19 to Royal Parade.
East (Belgrave, Lilydale, Glen Waverley, Alamein): Train to Melbourne Central or Parliament, then Tram 19 or 59.
South (Frankston, Sandringham, Cranbourne, Pakenham): Train to Flinders Street, walk to Elizabeth Street, then Tram 19 or 59.
West (Werribee, Williamstown, Sunbury): Train to Southern Cross or Flagstaff, then Tram 19 or 59. Or change at North Melbourne to the Upfield Line and get off at Royal Park.
Parkville Station on the Metro Tunnel line also provides access to the Melbourne University precinct if you are coming from that direction.
Trams
Four tram routes serve the venue and surrounding areas:
Route 58 — Stops 23 and 24 give direct access to the venue (Kabaddi area)
Route 19, Stop 16 (Royal Parade) — Direct access to Soccer and Kabaddi
Route 19, Stop 12 (Royal Parade) — Melbourne University access
Route 59, Flemington Rd / Gatehouse St — Approximately five-minute walk to the venue
Trams run frequently from the CBD and are a solid option if you are coming from Fitzroy, Carlton, or the inner north.
PTV App
Download the Public Transport Victoria app before Easter weekend — it gives real-time journey planning, live service alerts, and departure times. Use it to map your exact route from home to Royal Park Station or your closest tram stop.
Android
iOS App Store – Public Transport Victoria
VIP Parking: A Paid Option for Those Who Need It
For attendees who need guaranteed, close-proximity parking, the organising committee has made a limited number of VIP car parking spaces available in Parkville. These cost $1,000 as a donation to the Games, covering two exclusive parking areas near the venue.
Spaces are limited and expected to sell out. If this is relevant to your situation — mobility considerations, transporting equipment, or simply needing the certainty — contact the organising committee directly at admin@asgmel2026.com. Details are listed on the TryBooking Australia page for the event.
Rideshare
If none of the above works for your situation, rideshare (Uber and equivalents) is explicitly recommended on the official event page. Drop-off is available at the front of the venue. Depending on your suburb and the time of day, rideshare may cost less than parking and saves the stress entirely.
Quick Reference: Transport by Day
Thursday 3 April (Opening Day) Crowds build through the afternoon. Public transport is the cleanest option. If driving, aim for early morning arrival.
Friday 4 April (Main Competition Day) Busiest day across the precinct. Carpooling and trains are strongly recommended. On-street parking will be under maximum pressure.
Saturday 5 April (Finals and Closing Ceremony) Finals and the closing ceremony draw large afternoon and evening crowds. If you are coming for the evening cultural events, consider public transport both ways — CBD parking and street parking will be in demand across Melbourne that evening.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there parking at the State Netball and Hockey Centre?
No public parking is available at the venue. On-site parking is reserved for access pass holders only. A drop-off zone is at the front of the building. The nearest public parking is in the surrounding Carlton and Parkville streets and car parks, approximately 10–15 minutes on foot.
How far is Royal Park Station from the venue?
Royal Park Station on the Upfield Line is roughly a two-minute walk from the State Netball and Hockey Centre. It is the closest and most convenient option for most attendees.
Will there be a shuttle bus?
Yes. A shuttle service with nine buses across two routes will operate during Games hours with three to five minute frequency. It is specifically arranged for elderly attendees and families with young children coming from more distant parking areas.
What happens if I park in front of someone's driveway?
The local Council patrols the area and issues fines. Do not park in front of private driveways or in prohibited zones. The organising committee has specifically warned attendees about this — follow the guidance of volunteer sevadars on the ground.
What is the best way to get there from the CBD?
Walk to Elizabeth Street or Melbourne Central and take Tram 19 to Royal Parade (Stop 16). Or take any train to Melbourne Central and switch to the Upfield Line for one stop to Royal Park Station.
Can I use Uber to get to the Sikh Games?
Yes. Rideshare is recommended on the official event site. A drop-off zone is available at the front of the venue.
What tram stops are closest to the venue?
Route 58, Stops 23 and 24 give the most direct tram access. Route 19, Stop 16 on Royal Parade also works for the Soccer and Kabaddi grounds.
Plan Early, Arrive Smooth
The 38th Australian Sikh Games are going to be one of the biggest community events Melbourne has seen this Easter — 100,000+ attendees over three days, 8,000 athletes, 120 clubs, and a full cultural and sporting program across the Parkville precinct. The last thing anyone wants is to spend the morning of finals day stuck in a parking nightmare two suburbs away.
Take the train. Carpool if you are driving. Use the shuttle if your family needs it. Follow the sevadars. And check the PTV app before you leave home.

Punjab Lion Club Adelaide's Road to the 38th Australian Sikh Games Melbourne 2026
Podcast: The Talk Show | Host: Preetinder Grewal | Guest: Rajwant Singh, Punjab Lion Club AdelaideShow: Radio Haanji 1674 AM — Melbourne, AustraliaEvent: 38th Australian Sikh Games | 3–5 April 2026 | Parkville, Melbourne
Every year, as the Australian Sikh Games draw near, something shifts in Punjabi communities right across the country. Training sessions run longer. WhatsApp groups get busier. Kits get ordered, travel plans get made, and a quiet but unmistakable sense of pride begins to build.
This year, with the 38th Australian Sikh Games coming to Melbourne from 3 to 5 April 2026, that energy is at an all-time high — and one of the clubs feeling it most is the Punjab Lion Club Adelaide.
Radio Haanji host Preetinder Grewal sat down with Rajwant Singh, a senior representative of the club, for an in-depth conversation covering the club's origins, their preparation for Melbourne, and the spirit that drives them to compete year after year.
Who Are the Punjab Lion Club Adelaide?
The Punjab Lion Club Adelaide is one of South Australia's most recognised Punjabi sporting clubs. While they were officially registered as an incorporated body around 2016, their members had already been deeply embedded in the Adelaide Punjabi sports community for years before that.
The club was founded with a clear and simple purpose — to bring the Punjabi community in Adelaide together through sport and culture. What began as a group of passionate players turning up to train on weekends has grown into a well-organised, multi-sport club that proudly represents South Australia at the national stage every year.
As Rajwant Singh explained to Preetinder Grewal, the club's identity has always been about more than just winning. It is about building a community — giving Punjabi youth in Adelaide a home, a discipline, and a sense of belonging.
Preparing for Melbourne — Inside the Club's Build-Up
With the Sikh Games just weeks away, the Punjab Lion Club Adelaide is deep in preparation mode. Rajwant Singh gave Radio Haanji listeners a behind-the-scenes look at what that preparation actually looks like.
Training Around Real Life
One of the most impressive aspects of the club's preparation is how it is carried out alongside the everyday commitments of its players. Most squad members are working full-time, running businesses, or balancing family responsibilities. Despite this, Rajwant Singh describes training sessions being held in the evenings and on weekends— structured, consistent and taken seriously.
This is not a casual sporting club. The players making the trip to Melbourne have put in genuine work to be ready.
A Strong Contingent Heading to Melbourne
The Punjab Lion Club Adelaide is sending a strong and competitive team to the 38th Games. They will be competing across multiple disciplines:
Kabaddi — the club's flagship sport and a major competitive focus
Volleyball — with teams entered across different divisions
Athletics — with individual members competing in track and field events
Tug-of-War — a team event that requires both strength and coordination
The Kabaddi team, in particular, is one the club takes great pride in. Rajwant Singh made clear that Kabaddi is at the heart of the club's sporting identity — and Melbourne will see them at their competitive best.
Community Support Makes It Possible
Rajwant Singh was candid about the role that community support plays in making participation possible. Like most clubs at the Australian Sikh Games, Punjab Lion Club Adelaide relies on local sponsors and donations from the Adelaide Punjabi community to cover the costs of equipment, playing kits, and the travel and accommodation expenses that come with representing your state interstate.
This financial support is not taken for granted. It is a direct expression of the Adelaide community's pride in seeing their players represent them on the national stage.
The 38th Australian Sikh Games — What to Expect in Melbourne
The Australian Sikh Games are the premier sporting and cultural event for the Sikh and Punjabi community in Australia — and the 38th edition, returning to Melbourne for the first time in years, is shaping up to be the biggest yet.
Dates, Venue and Format
The Games run across Easter weekend, 3–5 April 2026, with the main sporting venue being the State Netball and Hockey Centre at Parkville, close to Melbourne's CBD. The three-day format follows a structured competition schedule:
Friday 3 April — Opening ceremony and league matches begin
Saturday 4 April — Group stage and semi-final matches
Sunday 5 April — Finals and closing ceremony
The Scale of the Event
The numbers behind the Australian Sikh Games are extraordinary. The Games draw crowds of over 100,000 people over three days, during which more than 8,000 athletes and performers compete in 15 different sports and cultural activities, with approximately 120 not-for-profit sporting and cultural clubs actively taking part.
The 38th edition of the Australian Sikh Games will also feature the first-ever International Coaches Conference, bringing together coaches, sports organisers, and community leaders to explore ways to boost Punjabi representation in sport.
Sports on the Programme
The 2026 Games feature a full programme of both traditional and modern sports. Sports include Hockey, Soccer, Basketball, Volleyball, Kabaddi, Cricket, Netball, Touch Football, AFL Nines, Tug-of-War, Badminton, Tennis, Golf, Athletics, Powerlifting, and Sports for All Abilities — a new addition in 2026. Cultural events include Bhangra, Gidda, Gatka, and turban-tying.
Cultural Highlights — Bhangra, Gidda and Jashan Di Raat
The Sikh Games have always been as much about culture as they are about sport, and 2026 is no different.
The Bhangra and Gidda Competition runs over two evenings at the Clocktower Centre in Moonee Ponds on Friday 3 and Saturday 4 April. Four hours of Punjabi dance, music and cultural performance each evening — one of the most anticipated events on Melbourne's Punjabi community calendar.
The Games close on Sunday evening with Jashan Di Raat — the gala cultural night — held at Crown Palladium, Level 1 Crown Towers, Southbank Victoria, beginning at 6:00 PM. Guests will enjoy a premium three-course meal, curated beverages, and spectacular performances in a beautifully styled setting.
Kaurs Rising — A New Chapter for Sikh Women
One of the most exciting new additions at the Sikh Games Melbourne 2026 is Kaurs Rising — a dedicated women's initiative designed to provide a dedicated space for Sikh women of all ages to connect, be inspired and celebrate their Panjaban identity, ensuring women are not just participants on the sporting field but leaders in the community's conversation about its future.
Why the Sikh Games Matter — Rajwant Singh's Message
When Preetinder Grewal asked Rajwant Singh what the Australian Sikh Games truly mean to the Punjab Lion Club Adelaide, his answer was telling.
Winning, he said, is always the goal — every player goes in wanting to compete at their very best. But the deeper purpose has always been something else. The Games are an opportunity to build brotherhood, discipline and a healthy lifestyle among Punjabi youth in Australia. They are proof that the community has roots, pride, and the organisational strength to show up and compete on a national stage every single year.
For a club like Punjab Lion Club Adelaide — built by ordinary people who love sport and love their community — that is what the journey to Melbourne is really about.
Come Out and Support the Adelaide Lions in Melbourne
Rajwant Singh closed his conversation with Preetinder Grewal by extending a personal invitation to the entire Punjabi community — in Adelaide, Melbourne, and across Australia.
Come to the games. Watch the Kabaddi. Cheer for the volleyball teams. Show the players from every club that the community stands behind them.
Entry to the sporting grounds is generally free or very low cost for spectators, and Langar — the Sikh tradition of a free community kitchen — is available to everyone at no charge for all three days.
The 38th Australian Sikh Games is not just a sporting event. It is a celebration of who we are as a community — and Punjab Lion Club Adelaide will be there, representing South Australia with everything they have.
