Which Coleraine council car parks offer free parking near the River Bann?
Coleraine Waterside is the clearest large free council car park on the published list, with 201 spaces. The council also lists Andersons Park as free with 37 spaces and Christie Park as free with 31.
Local car park, route and access details
For comparison, Coleraine Railway Road and Railway Place are chargeable at 50p per hour, while Abbey Street and the Mall are listed at 60p per hour. The parking options therefore differ materially depending on which side of town you need and whether you are visiting the River Bann, the station or the shopping streets.
What to check before travelling
If you want a free parking option for a riverside stop, check Waterside first and confirm the pedestrian route to your destination. Do not assume a space in a nearby privately operated facility is free because a separate council car park has no charge. Individual signs can contain vehicle, access or stay restrictions.
