Iconic helical parking with ANPR, accessible bays, and direct links to central Ipswich amenities.
Spiral Car Park is a distinctive multi-level facility run by Ipswich Borough Council, located off Civic Drive in the heart of the town centre. The helical design offers 320 sealed concrete bays over four levels, including 14 accessible bays on Level 1 adjacent to lift shafts for step-free access to all floors. Entry and exit are managed by ANPR cameras; pay-on-foot machines accept coins, notes, and contactless cards. Tariffs are £2.50 for the first hour, £1.75 for each subsequent hour, and capped at £12 per day, with an evening flat rate of £4 after 6:00 pm. High-intensity LED lighting illuminates each level from dusk until dawn, and a network of 18 CCTV cameras provides round-the-clock surveillance. Covered pedestrian bridges on Level 2 connect directly to the Willis Building and adjacent retail precinct within a two-minute walk. Covered signage at the entrance displays local event listings, shopping maps, and bus timetables for services to the waterfront. Monthly maintenance includes line repainting, structural inspections, and deep cleaning to maintain a safe, iconic parking environment.
