Where should you park when visiting St Columb’s Park?

The practical answer

For **St Columb's Park**, use the **free parking within the park off St Columb's Road**. Visit Derry specifically confirms free car parking, including disabled-access parking, within the park.

There is also free on-road parking on **St Columb's Road**, subject to the signs and available space, and parking at nearby **Ebrington Square**.

If you are walking the Ebrington/St Columb's Park loop, either the park or Ebrington is a sensible starting point. If your day also includes the Guildhall and City Walls, you can leave the car on the Waterside and cross the **Peace Bridge** on foot rather than moving it to the city side.

This is one of the Derry attractions where the official tourism information is unusually clear: you do not need to pay for a central city car park simply to visit the park itself.
