Parking is free when you complete a valid public transport trip with an accepted Opal card or your contactless credit or debit card, once you’ve linked your Park&Ride details on your Transport Connect account. Free parking is only valid for up to 4 hours. After 4 hours, parking rates will apply. Off-peak rates: $10 weeknight flat rate. Enter and exit between 5pm and midnight; $5 rate for up to 3 hours on weekends.
Great parking at showground but you need to get there early. This appears to happen at all the metro station, be great to have more parking.
No car park spot after 7:30am now. Not family friendly at all. Hills showground changed to 4hrs parking. Fined $92 for parking overtime in early Feb. Hopeless council…
This should be free parking as advertised and arranged when first built. Now the council has changed it to fee based which requires further stuffing around by the public to somehow avoid the $30 fee. They do not clearly advise what you need to do to avoid the fee, NO SIGNS OR INSTRUCTIONS. Pathetic.
No parking, I used to park within the showground but now the council has put in a 4 hour limit. That's really great for people going to work, thanks, council.
Parking full by 8:00am, no there is no option for long term parking if you need to catch the train to airport. I’ve written to council to lodge complaints, response is to park elsewhere!!!!
Not enough spaces available especially when the Hills Council have made all street parking close staying no parking and the showground 4P. This carpark is completely inadequate.
Need to make ramp separation more visible.
If I could rate this 0 stars, I would. I parked in this car park for TWO HOURS and had to pay $30. I could have parked in Castle Towers and received 3 hours FOR FREE. Ridiculous. Additionally, there are no parking spaces available, absolutely packed at all hours of day passed 8am.
Since when did the once 'free' parking become fee based? I got stung yesterday with the new boom gate system with a nice council or govt charge of $30.00 !! When was this change communicated to the local community. Others leaving the car park yesterday afternoon were just as shocked as me. very disappointing sydney metro trains and co
There is no parking after 8 am. I arrived at the station at 7:40 am Tuesday morning and drove up and down every level and unfortunately, there were no spots left. Had to park on a street that is a far walk from the station. It was very dark walking back to the car and I felt unsafe. The parking situation definitely needs improvement to ensure people are able to travel to their destination on time and in a safe way.
The car park is a disgrace - a serious lack of parking, especially disabled and seniors spots. It is near impossible to travel after 8am with the lack of parking and no buses nearby to catch to station. Really poor planning and more parking needed now! Also, they’ve taken away direct buses to the city
Need addiitonal building of same capacity as current parking lot next to it, many often the digital board doesn't work and have to go all the 4 levels and come back with no luck finding parking spot, people do park in the no parking zone in the block.
In the community showings we told people that the parking was not enough. One person laughed at us. This is now proven to be the case. There is a serious lack of parking, especially disabled and seniors spots. It’s impossible to travel in middle of the day with the lack of parking and no buses nearby to catch to station. Really poor planning and more parking needed now.
Agree with others - inadequate parking spots. Another parking lot or multi storey is needed here.
Have to be there before 7:30am otherwise no parking lot left
Get there before 0730 or there will be no spots left. Totally inadequate for the amount of people living in the Hills and the population is growing rapidly. How can there be such a lack of forward planning in a virtually new facility built from scratch.
Parking will be full after 8:15am during workdays.
