Parking VRA Cricket Amsterdam, Amsterdam

Pre-book parking near VRA Cricket Amsterdam with Mobypark

Parking VRA Cricket Amsterdam is a lot easier when you plan around access rules in the Amsterdamse Bos. Instead of arriving and searching for a legal spot at the last minute, Mobypark helps you book private parking spaces owned by people and businesses that aren’t using them regularly (think hotel/office parking, private driveways, or unused garage spaces). For match days and training sessions, this means you can focus on getting to VRA—not on whether there’s a free bay nearby.

Where you’re allowed to park for VRA: Nieuwe Kalfjeslaan and nearby lots

VRA’s own accessibility guidance is clear: park in the marked parking spaces along Nieuwe Kalfjeslaan or in one of the surrounding car parks. The most convenient option is typically the large parking lot at the end of Nieuwe Kalfjeslaan, from where it’s only a short walk to the main entrance (a few hundred meters).

If you know your arrival time (and especially if you’re coming with others), using Mobypark to pre-book can reduce the pressure of “spot hunting” at the end of the lane or at smaller surrounding lots.

Don’t drive into the Bos by car (fines apply)

Amsterdamse Bos has strict enforcement. VRA warns that the access paths are intended for walkers and cyclists—so it’s not allowed to drive with cars. Illegally driving/parking can come with a €105 fine, and cars parked in the wrong way can also risk being unable to leave when gates are locked.

So if you’re thinking “we’ll just park closer to the fields,” that’s exactly where drivers get caught. Reserving a private parking spot via Mobypark is a practical way to arrive with a clear plan and avoid last-minute decisions that may lead you into restricted areas.

Busy event periods can make Bos access difficult

VRA also notes that during major event periods in the wider area (for example around Easter), it may be hardly possible to drive into the Bos, and parking availability can be very limited. When car access is tight, traffic controllers may manage where vehicles can go, and VRA points out that some alternatives can have only a limited number of spaces.

For those dates, don’t rely on finding “whatever is open.” Checking availability and pre-booking with Mobypark gives you a safer fallback than arriving to discover the Bos is difficult to access.

P+R as a calmer option—then combine it with a short walk

If you prefer to avoid parking stress near the Bos, consider Park & Ride (P+R) outside the city and continue by public transport. Municipal P+R parking is designed for drivers and is priced per 24 hours (with conditions for the discounted rate). It can be a good choice when you don’t want to worry about street availability.

That said, if you want a simpler arrival workflow—park once and go—Mobypark can be the more direct alternative to P+R planning, especially when your schedule is tied to training start times.

Compare real costs: street and garage parking can add up

Amsterdam parking prices vary, but regular hourly parking near popular areas can climb quickly once your stay goes beyond a couple of hours. Before you leave, compare options based on how long you’ll actually need (arrive early for warm-up, stay for the full session, and allow time to exit the area).

Mobypark is often positioned as a cheaper way to secure parking for longer stays versus paying typical street/garage rates, while also removing the uncertainty of whether you’ll find a free space when you arrive.
