Cardiff Arms Park Park

Address: Cardiff Arms Park, Westgate Street, Cardiff CF10 1NS, Wales, UK

Cardiff Arms Park is a historic rugby ground in the centre of Cardiff, Wales, forming part of the city’s sporting complex. The site has hosted rugby matches for well over a century and remains associated with local and regional rugby clubs.

The ground is primarily used for rugby union fixtures and related events, and sits adjacent to larger national stadium facilities in the city centre. Matchdays attract local supporters and visiting fans, with nearby transport links and city-centre amenities.

Rugby has been played on the Arms Park site since the 19th century and the ground has been redeveloped several times to meet changing sporting and safety requirements. The site remains an established centre for Cardiff’s club rugby.

The stadium is located in central Cardiff beside the River Taff and close to other city landmarks, including national stadium facilities and civic areas.

• Central location: Located immediately beside the city centre and the River Taff, making it highly accessible from central Cardiff and close to other major city sports and cultural sites.

Cardiff Arms Park sits in central Cardiff beside the River Taff and is very near Cardiff Central Station-it’s about a 5-10 minute walk (around 400-800 m) from the station. Numerous local buses serve stops on Westgate Street and nearby roads; if driving, follow the A4161/Westgate Street into the city centre and use nearby public car parks.

• Use public transport-Cardiff Central or Queen Street stations are within easy walking distance-rather than driving on event days, when road closures and match traffic can be heavy.
• Arrive at least 30-45 minutes before kick-off for rugby or concert events to pass security and find your seat without rushing; the area becomes tightly packed closer to start time.
• Explore the pedestrian areas between the Arms Park and the adjacent Principality Stadium beforehand-pubs and terraces around the park fill early and provide the best pre-match atmosphere many visitors miss if they arrive late.
