The postcode for the ground is CO4 5UP
The stadium is located alongside the A12 at Junction 28.

The ground itself has its own carpark but this must be pre-booked with the club here at a cost of £7.00.
The immediate area around the JobServe Community Stadium is under a Parking Exclusion Zone on match days. This covers existing Clearways as well as nearby residential areas. These are patrolled on match days so please watch out of signs.
Colchester Park and Ride on Cuckoo Farm Way off junction 28 of the A12 (CO4 5JA) is a 5 minute walk away and also has parking.

Wheelchair based fans will have access to a viewing deck, with a lift to access this. Stewards will be on hand to assist where required.
Any further questions – Chris, Colchester United’s DLO, can be contacted via chris.saward@colchesterunited.net
The stadium has a large number of disabled parking bays – these need to be pre booked using the link above.
When do turnstiles open?
The turnstiles will open at 6.30pm.
What is the nearest train station to the stadium and what is the approximate distance and walking time?
The nearest train station is the Colchester North Station or you have Colchester Station. This is a good 40-minute walk away and I’m told that taxis can be hard to come by.
Recommended pubs for away fans?
The Dog & Pheasant on Nayland Road (CO4 5EG), which is about ¾ mile away from the stadium and also serves food. This is around a 10 minute walk away.
