About Riverwalk car park 1

Riverwalk car park 1 is a underground car park in Durham town centre, serving shoppers, diners, and visitors to the high street. At approximately 470 spaces, this is one of the bigger car parks you’ll find nearby. Parking here is underground, providing a covered and secure option — though drivers of larger vehicles should check height restrictions. Parking here is paid.

When to Visit

Town centre car parks tend to be busiest on Saturdays as shoppers head to the high street. If you can, weekday mornings before 10am or Sundays offer a much calmer experience. Evenings can also work well if you’re visiting restaurants or catching a show. At this size, finding a space is rarely an issue — though during major events or peak Saturday demand, even large car parks can feel the pressure.
