Access to the markets

The markets can be accessed via four points – through Henty Street, Girrahween Street, Mort Street Pathway and Torrens Street through the cement pathways. Each of these access points have kerb ramps.

The Girrahween Street access has a wide raised pedestrian road crossing, that connects through to the tram public transport. This is the best entry point for individuals with impaired mobility.

Best time to visit

For finding parking close to the markets, and a quieter experience in the markets, the best time to visit is when we open.

Grounds within the markets

The market stalls line the cement pathways, so majority of the stalls can be visited by these pathways with a mobility device. The other areas with stalls are hard flat park surfaces.

Due to electrical cords needing to be covered, there is one strip of raised cord covers located on the main pathway approximatly 40 metres from the Henty Street entrance. There is an additional strip of raised cord covers on the side pathway heading towards the Community Centre and the Mort Street entrance.

There are two seating areas located on grass/dirt surfaces, one is a family area that can accommodate prams and wheelchairs easily with wide open spaces.

Location of toilets

The toilets are located around 150m away along the cement pathway. Whilst they are old, the toilets are wheelchair accessible. The side handlers are in each toilet, one left and one right. 

Parking

In the carparks on Girrahween St, Braddon, there are roughly 50 spaces in each of the car parks. These car parks lead directly onto the pedestrian cement pathways with kerb ramps. Lonsdale Street has parking lining the Street that is 2 hour slots, this is also easily accessible to the market from these spaces via the raised pedestrian crossing. Early arrival is best for obtaining parking.
