The park is open to the public.

All-year-round pedestrian access to Home Park is provided via Kingston Gate and Paddock Gate, both located on Hampton Court Road, and via Ditton Gate, Surbiton Passage Gate and Jubilee Gate, all three located along Barge Walk.

The gates are open from 07.00 to 21.00 (April to September) and from 07.00 to 18.30 (October to March).

The gate to the East Front Gardens of the Palace is open to allow free access only between 9am and 10am. This allows visitors to walk through this gate in the mornings before the Palace officially opens at 10am every day.

From 10am every day the gate to the East Front Gardens (very rear of the Palace) is closed as access to the palace and gardens is by entry fee after that time.

Vehicles are allowed in to the golf course through Kingston Gate at the Hampton Wick end of the park.
