About Park and Ride
Park and Ride provides park and ride parking on the edge of Derby, helping to reduce congestion in the town centre.

When to Visit

Arriving before 8am gives you the best chance of a space. Weekends are very quiet, as most park and rides see minimal non-commuter use. The larger capacity means you’re unlikely to be turned away except during the busiest periods.
