Probably not close to the ground. If you are getting a taxi a would advise getting dropped off around the top of Miry lane on the other side of the river Douglas.
Then it is about 200 yards or so over the bridge to the ground.
Where are you coming from?

If you get dropped of near the foot bridge you can also savour some of the most honking burgers know to man
just at the end of the close.
Its also the best way to approach the ground (IMO) as you get a great viewpoint on your way there
