Cork people attending the "Live in the Marquee" gigs and coming in cars from the city centre, the western suburbs and beyond will be directed to use Centre Park Road to access the 10-acre Cork docklands site.

The entrance is on the link road between Centre Park Road and Monaghan Road. Bus Éireann will operate a shuttle bus service and, as with for taxis, the drop-off point is at the link road adjacent to the venue.

Secure parking will be available within the site for €5, while on-street parking is available where regulations permit - and at the green area beside the ESB power station at the end of the marina.

Double yellow lines have been placed at the northern side of Centre Park Road and on both sides of the marina.
