Riverside Pay-and-Display Parking at Hills Meadow
Hills Meadow Car Park is an open-air surface facility located on George Street adjacent to Readings riverside parkland. The lot offers 100 marked bays, including eight accessible spaces near the main pedestrian gate. Operating 8 am to 10 pm daily, the site uses a pay-and-display system with machines accepting coins, contactless cards, and mobile payments; hourly and daily capped rates are in place. The car park is monitored by CCTV cameras covering all aisles and entry points, with private security patrols during nighttime. LED floodlights line the perimeter and central islands to ensure safe access after dusk. A riverside walkway leads directly to Caversham Bridge and Hills Meadow park within a one-minute walk. Local bus services on Coronation Square provide frequent routes to Reading town center and Tilehurst. EV charging is available via two rapid units located near the southern boundary. Cyclists benefit from a covered bike shelter accommodating up to six bicycles.
