Is it the right car park for me?
For a stop of an hour or less it's one of the cheapest council car parks in the town centre. Past an hour, East Topping Street, a couple of minutes away, is cheaper: £3.60 buys 90 minutes here but 2 hours there, and 4 hours costs £7.80 here against £6.20 there. You also can't stay longer than 4 hours, so for a show or a full day use East Topping Street or Talbot Road multi-storey.
The council's page doesn't mention a Blue Badge concession here. If you have a Blue Badge, see Blue Badge parking in Blackpool for the car parks that give you 3 hours free.
