Home Park is an football ground located in Plymouth, England, and is home to Plymouth Argyle FC.

The ground is located at the north of Central Park, approximately half a mile from the main Plymouth railway station, and about a mile from the coach station.

Arriving by train

By bus

Turn immediately right out of the station, and cross the main road by footbridge. Any bus bound for Milehouse will drop you within 100 yards of the ground.
Walking

Turn immediately right out of the station, and right again under the railway bridge. You will arrive at a roundabout: in front of you will be a pub, the Pennycomequick. From here you can either walk up Alma Road to the top and turn right at the Britannia pub (the long way) or you can cut across the park about 50 yards up Alma Road, heading right. You will come to a concreted path, follow it uphill and it will bring you past the council-run pitch and putt golf course to Home Park itself.

Arriving by road

Arriving from the east you will (probably) be on the A38 Devon Expressway. As you approach Plymouth, there is a major exit, the Marsh Mills roundabout. Do not take this exit unless you fancy wasting time driving through city-centre traffic. The next exit, the Leigham roundabout, is also sub-optimal. The third exit which will be sign posted Plymouth Argyle F.C. as well as the A386 for Plymouth City Centre and Devonport is the one you want. Head in the direction of Plymouth city centre. (NB There are speed cameras along the length of this road and the police often have a mobile patrol laser-checking as well). The car-parks are well sign posted, however as Argyle have become progressively more successful, it has taken longer to leave these car-parks after the game.

Arriving by coach

Unless you are on a club coach explicitly bound for Home Park, you will be deposited at Breton Side Bus Station.

By bus

Any bus bound for Milehouse will drop you within 100 yards of the ground – disembark at Central Park. Cross the road from the bus stop and proceed into Central Park itself – the Mayflower Leisure Centre will be on your left, go past this and the ground will be ahead of you. The away supporters’ entrance (Barn Park End) is on the eastern side of the ground.

Walking

Exit the bus station through either of the staircases. If you are immediately outside the Charles Church (or what remains of it, as it was destroyed during the Blitz), then turn left and follow the signs for the railway station, and follow instructions as per arriving by rail. If you find yourself outside the Post Office, just head for the Charles Church.
