Carpark at Lighthorse Interchange

[waratah]

Is there a place to park a car and access the M7 cycleway at the "Lighthorse
Interchange"? I'm coming from the west on the M4. Thanks.

Take a train to Rooty Hill and leave the carbon belcher at home;)

This might help. Has maps.

Probably would need to exit and park in local streets (aka non-existent on
M4 or M7).

You could always travel a tad further to the servos/Maccas/etc, park,
and ride back to the M7. To go home, take the conveniently located
exit, turn right(?), rejoin the M4 and head back to the mountains. Or
you could exit and turn before parking at the westbound shops.

Don't eat the Maccas unless you want to undo your work... ;^)

Of course, the train is a better suggestion from an environmental
perspective.

You could leave your car on the southern side of the M4 near the LG
warehouse. There is quite a network of streets around there in the
industrial area and a good access path onto the cycleway near the LG
building. This is where the only convenient water point is along the
cycelway. The access is a few hundred metres south of the interchange,
between the interchange and the Wallgrove Rd overpass. You would need
to turn onto Wallgrove Rd from the M4 and park around the Wonderland
Drive area.

Turn right onto Wallgrove Rd off the M4.
On the left, opposite the LG building is the M7 offices.
I have parked in there and hit the cycle way on the weekends.
Dont know about during the week though.
If you ride down the M4 ( be careful crossing the merge lanes) there is an
entrance to the cycleway on Wallgrove Rd just after you get off the bridge
and clear the southbound merge lane there. If you want to go west off the
cycle way and onto the M4 after your ride, there is a gate just north of the
M7 offices that goes from the cycleway to the M7. The gate has a childproof
lock on it, so be sure to close it. That will take you straight onto the M4
on ramp.

Have a good ride
