There are 38 parking spots and two disabled car parking spots. According to Mr Rattenbury, that is sufficient. Is that sufficient for potentially 3,000 spectators? With the nearby ground parking, which I have mentioned already, Mr Rattenbury needs to address the fact that some of those car parking areas are in use at the very time that he expects them to be used by the users of the athletics track and those involved with football that Woden park is now home to.
