Bangor Car Parks

NOTICE OF CAR PARK CLOSURE

Bangor Marine will shortly be going on site to begin the much-anticipated Queen's Parade Redevelopment, and the car park on Queen's Parade will close permanently.  This will be in November.  This is a necessary closure to facilitate the redevelopment of the Marine Gardens, which will include a new play park, two pavilions, kiosks with food and beverage offerings, an events space and significant landscaping. Designed to strengthen the cohesion of the overall Queens Parade scheme, the Marine Gardens will provide an inviting new energy and vibrancy to the city's waterfront.

While the loss of this car park will have an impact on parking around the Marina, there are more than 1,300 parking spaces in Bangor and here you will find all the alternative car parks in and around the city.

Wherever you need to go in Bangor, we have included a map to show the closest car park(s) including which are free to use, and which require payment.

As Bangor embarks on this significant journey of transformation, we hope this helps address any inconvenience the closure of this car park may cause.  For any further queries please see the Further Information section below.

Further Information 

The area will, as planned, form part of the new-look seafront as it is transformed into a multi-use space with landscaped gardens, pavilions for food/retail, retail kiosks, art sculpture and performance space, all designed to revitalise Bangor's waterfront area.  For more information on the Queen's Parade Redevelopment visit: www.queensparadebangor.com

While the closure of any car park can be an inconvenience, Bangor does have over 1300 parking spaces in and around the city, a mix of free and pay and display parking, including many free 60-minute on-street parking spaces.

For those who made use of the Queen's Parade car park, alternative parking is available close by in The Vennel car park and in Central Avenue.

Regular bus and train services to and from Bangor are available for those who wish to visit or commute to work outside of the city.

Additional on-street parking is also available along the Seacliffe Road towards Ballyholme and at Luke's Point, for those wishing to enjoy a walk east along the coastal path or eat in one of the many restaurants along the route.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require any additional information or assistance by emailing bangorcarparks@ardsandnorthdown.gov.uk or calling City Hall on 0300 013 3333.
