Valley Visitor Parking is a park-and-ride facility managed by Colchester City Council, located off Park Road near Lake Lothing. The lot comprises 150 sealed asphalt bays, including six accessible spaces adjacent to the pedestrian boarding shelter for the hourly bus service to Colchester town centre and Hythe. Parking is free for bus users who display a valid parking permit or purchase a return bus ticket. Covered waiting shelters with real-time bus arrival information operate from 6:00 am to midnight on weekdays and 8:00 am to 10:00 pm on weekends. High-lumen LED lampposts illuminate all aisles from dusk until 1:00 am, and six CCTV cameras monitor entrances, exits, and the boarding area for security. Pedestrian pathways link directly to nearby waterfront cafés, University of Essex Colchester campus, and the Lakeside area within a three-minute walk. Routine maintenance includes quarterly line repainting, monthly litter clearance, and bi-annual resurfacing inspections to maintain a tidy environment for commuters and visitors.
