Ipswich waterfront parking with accessible bays, pay-and-display, and direct walk to University and restaurants.
West End Road Car Park is a council-operated surface lot situated off West End Road in central Ipswich, serving the waterfront and University of Suffolk campus. The lot provides 100 sealed tarmac bays, including six accessible spaces located nearest the pedestrian crossing leading to Ipswich Waterfront and university buildings. Pay-and-display machines accept coins, contactless cards, and mobile payments; tariffs are £1.50 per hour with a four-hour maximum stay, and a daily cap of £8. High-intensity LED lampposts illuminate all aisles from dusk until midnight, and two CCTV cameras monitor entrances and accessible bays for security. Covered information boards at the entrance display local event listings, university term dates, and bus timetables for services to the town centre. Pedestrian pathways link directly to the University Student Union, waterfront restaurants, and the Oval shopping centre within a three-minute walk. Monthly maintenance includes line repainting, pothole repairs, and litter collection to maintain a safe, welcoming environment for students and waterfront visitors.
