Parking restrictions on the University of Nottingham campus apply Monday-Friday, 08:00-17:30. All visitors will be required to display a ticket from the machine or make use of the RingGo app service during these times.

The below map shows the location of the barriers which will be locked between 07:00-19:00, seven days a week. During this period, David Ross Sports Village will only be accessible from the West entrance which will need to be used to enter and exit the University campus.
