About The Oracle Riverside Car Park

Positioned within walking distance of Reading’s main streets, The Oracle Riverside Car Park caters to shoppers and those visiting the town centre. This is a major parking facility with approximately 1679 spaces, one of the largest in the area. 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.

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.
