Convenient parking for The Parade retail and leisure venues with EV charging
Fleming Way Car Park is a Swindon Borough Counciloperated surface tarmac facility located on Gordon Gardens off Fleming Way, serving The Parade retail district and nearby leisure centers. The lot offers 100 marked bays, including six Blue Badge spaces near the pedestrian exit and two motorcycle bays. It operates 8 am10 pm daily; pay-and-display charges are £1.50 per hour (capped at £6.00 per day) via machines accepting coins and contactless; Sundays are free for up to 2 hours. LED floodlights provide full illumination until midnight, and CCTV cameras monitor all driving lanes. Pedestrian exits lead directly to The Parade shops (50 m), Discovery Island leisure complex (100 m), and local bus stops. Two 7 kW EV chargers are available at £0.30 per kWh, billed via QR code. Seasonal sports tournaments and retail promotions reduce capacity by 20%; signage directs drivers to Princess Street Car Park (0.6 km). Maintenance crews repaint bay lines quarterly and clear litter weekly.
