About Canal Street

Canal Street sits in Perth town centre, offering parking for visitors to nearby shops and local amenities. With around 439 spaces, this is a substantial car park that rarely fills completely except during peak events. As a multi-storey car park, it provides covered parking across several levels — handy in bad weather, though bays can be tighter than in open lots. Parking here is paid. It is operated by Perth & Kinross Council.

When to Visit

Saturday is typically the peak day for town centre parking, with demand building from mid-morning through to late afternoon. Weekday visits before 10am are your best bet for finding a space easily, and Sundays are usually the quietest day of the week. The substantial capacity means this car park can handle high demand, making it a reliable option even at busier times.
