Parking in the Poole area

[castaway]

I plan to pick up some crew from Poole in a few days time and they will need to leave a car for a few days.

Can anyone help with the location of somewhere, cheap or free they can recomend? The idea is to do the pick up from Town Quay, and its not a problem to leave the car in the street (just my wife's old Mondeo).

Many tks Nick

Hi,

Parking is a problem on the quay. I wouldn't consider the NCP - break ins. I would like to say that you could use my lockup garage which is on the quay but unfortunatly it is used at the moment.

Other than that sorry I think it will have to be park and walk.

Mark.

Ive had the same problem on many occasions. The baiter park area is a no go, residents only parking. the nearest free on street parking to the quay is to be found as follows. walk up the quay, over lifting bridge, up to mini roundabout, turn right, then after about 250yds on left hand side is an area of wasteland that quite a few cars use in the daytime. in the evenings you will get a space there. There is also a short cul de sac with houses, but most of the on street parking there is used by the residents 9and why not!)

Good call Gibslind, but don't tell everyone!

It's certainly where I park when going onto poole on a busy evening from the Hamworthy side rather than messing around in the centre.
