Accessibility
We are committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive market experience for all visitors. This page provides information about access and facilities so you can plan your visit.
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. See MAP below.
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 at 8am.
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. 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.
