NEW CAR PARK SYSTEM

The Ridings, Wakefield – New Parking System

Find out more about how we are making parking easier at The Ridings

Coming this November!

To make parking easier, we’re taking out the barriers and bringing in new state-of-the-art pay stations.

There will also be a new smartphone payment option. Scan the QR codes for fast, easy payments.

The new system will be “pay on arrival” – please pay for your parking when you arrive.

With all-day parking available at just £6.00 a day, our car park is excellent value for shoppers and people working in Wakefield city centre.

Visitors can park for just 50p all day on Sundays and Bank Holidays.

Note that there is now no overnight parking.

We have over 1,000 spaces, including 43 blue badge holder spaces and 25 family parking bays with direct access to the centre.

Our car park is a barrierless and ticketless system in which your number plate is automatically captured and recognised as you enter and leave.

We are now a pay-on-entry car park; find a space, head to a pay machine or use the APP, enter your registration number, tell us the amount of time you wish to stay for and pay the amount due with a card or cash ( in centre only)

FREE parking at Reel Cinema will continue. They will validate your parking in the cinema as usual—you will need your car registration.

REMEMBER YOU WILL NEED YOUR CAR REGISTRATION NUMBER TO PAY FOR YOUR PARKING

Smart park by pre-booking your parking online

Pre-booking means you can relax knowing your parking is organised, giving you one less thing to worry about. Paying in advance for parking before you travel saves you time; there’s no need to queue to pay at the payment machines, giving you more time for shopping.

For a secure way to pay for your parking by credit or debit card payment, head over to Avalon parking website or App.

We look forward to seeing you soon.
