Where should you park when visiting Carnfunnock Country Park?
The practical answer
For **Carnfunnock Country Park**, use the **on-site council car park**. Mid and East Antrim Borough Council lists **184 spaces** and accessible parking, so this is a much larger and more suitable facility than trying to park along the Coast Road.
The council applies a daily parking charge. Its current Carnfunnock price page publishes the live rate and explains that payment is made at the entrance/terminal or Visitor Centre using the methods provided.
Because Carnfunnock contains gardens, play areas, walks and seasonal family attractions across a large site, parking inside the country park is part of the normal visit rather than merely a place to leave the car near the boundary.
On public holidays or major event days, check the current price/entry information because the council can use different rates or traffic arrangements.
