Family-friendly park parking with accessible bays, seasonal tariffs, and walkable access to Promenade Park attractions.
Promenade Park Car Park is a council-operated facility situated off Park Drive in Maldon, serving visitors to the award-winning Promenade Park. The lot comprises 120 sealed asphalt bays, including eight accessible spaces positioned closest to the main park entrance and café area. Pay-and-display machines accept coins and contactless cards; tariffs are £1 per hour with a maximum stay of four hours and a daily cap of £4 during summer (AprilSeptember), and free during off-peak months. High-efficiency LED lampposts illuminate all driving lanes from dusk until 10 pm, and three CCTV cameras monitor entrances, exits, and accessible bays for security. Covered information kiosks display park maps, seasonal event schedules (including steam train rides and outdoor theatre), and local bus timetables for the 90 and 90A services to Colchester. Pedestrian pathways link directly to the paddling pool, boating lake, and adventure playground within a one-minute walk. Monthly maintenance includes line repainting, pothole repairs, and litter clearance to maintain a pristine, family-friendly environment.
