Matchday parking information
Swans fans should be aware that the local authority's new parking enforcement van is expected to be in operation around the streets of the Liberty Stadium on matchdays.
It takes pictures of cars parking illegally, including resident-only bays, and a penalty notice is automatically generated and the fine sent to your home address.

Park and ride at Felindre: J46 of the M4 (exit motorway and follow the signs)
Park and walk site at Landore: Adjacent to the city centre park and ride site
Park and walk next to Swansea Tennis Centre
