How To Get There:
By Road:
Boundary Park is well serviced by the motorway network being almost on top of the end of the A627(M).
Leave the M62 at Junction 20 and take the A627(M) towards Oldham. After 2.5 miles at the large roundabout with A627/A663 take the long slip road to your left. As you approach the roundabout you will find on your left a McDonalds and a KFC. For the club car park) take the first exit off the roundabout onto Broadway (signposted Royton A633). Through the first set of traffic lights and the turn first right onto Hilbre Avenue. Then straight on into the fair sized club car park. The away fans stand is to your left. When you turn off Broadway into Hilbre Avenue there are some side streets on which you can park but if you arrive after about 13.30 there will be police on duty to stop you entering these roads.
If you want to go straight to the main entrance at the roundabout take the second exit onto A627 Chadderton Way (signposted Oldham). In 0.3 miles turn first left into Boundary Park Road and at the end turn right into Sheepfoot Lane.
By Rail:
There are three stations that you could use to get to Boundary Park. Oldham Mumps, Oldham Werneth or Mill Hills. However Oldham Mumps is a 45 minute walk from the ground and is not really practical. A better bet would be Oldham Werneth or Mills Hill.
These stations are served by North West Trains on the Oldham Rochdale loop. Trains for Oldham will depart from Manchester Victoria platforms 1 or 6. If you buy a ticket to Oldham and you arrive from the South at Manchester Piccadilly your fare includes travel on the Metrolink to Victoria station. As you exit the platforms at Piccadilly turn left for the Metrolink station. Take the tram for BURY only to get to Manchester Victoria.
Oldham Werneth:
The station is around a 15 minute walk away from the ground. Exit the station and turn right onto Featherstall Road South and walk for about ¾ miles (through one set of traffic lights and a small roundabout at Tesco until you come to a large roundabout turn left onto Chadderton Way (cross over at the underpass as Chadderton Way is a dual carriageway) and follow for another ¼ miles until you come to Boundary Park Road (by the B&Q Warehouse) turn right and Boundary Park is ahead. You will be approaching the ground from the home supporters end so at the end of Boundary Park Road turn right up Sheepfoot Lane past the main stand to the other end of the ground. It is extremely unusual for any taxi's to be at Werneth station.
Also on the Oldham-Rochdale loop is Mills Hill station, which is also served by some trains coming from York, Leeds, Huddersfield, Halifax, Wakefield, Liverpool, Wigan and Blackpool. The only difference to the travelling arrangements from Manchester Victoria is that fans should ONLY BOARD trains going to ROCHDALE and ensure that everyone checks the train does stop at Mills Hill, some are direct to Rochdale. There are trains usually run every half an hour from Manchester. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to the ground from this station.
Mills Hill station itself is closer than Oldham Werneth station and the walk to the ground passes two very nice, hospitable pubs! As you leave the station you head towards the traffic lights. There you will see a large pub called the Rose Of Lancaster, which is cheap and serves bar meals. Continue up the road (Burnley Lane) on which the Rose Of Lancaster is situated. On the right you will come to a school called 'North Chadderton Comprehensive' and a set of lights. Bear to the right at these lights. Keep going until you reach another pub called the 'Chadderton Park Inn' which is situated on a large roundabout, Boundary Park is in view from here. Then simply cross the road in the direction of the ground (using the subway is highly recommended!) and head towards the ground. This route also brings you directly to the away end!"
By Bus:
From Manchester take the 181, 182, 24 towards Rochdale, all 3 go past the ground and take around half an hour from Manchester. From Oldham Town centre take the 408 towards, 409 towards Rochdale both stop at the top of Sheepfoot Lane near the Hospital
Parking:
There is a large car park at the rear of the Lookers Stand see Directions for details.
Around The Ground:
There is now a retail park just as you come off the A627 (M) towards the ground. Here you can find, Pizza Hut, McDonalds, Burger King and Kentucky Fried Chicken.
There are also numerous pubs relatively close to Boundary Park.
Next to the ground is the Clayton Arms.
From the main entrance, walk up the hill, at the top of the hill turn right and you will see The Queens further up the road, turn left and you will first see The Old Grey Mare, further on is the White Hart.
