Debut 4 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Been before by train and stayed overnight after a concert but I’m taking the car tonight. Has anyone got any sneaky parking tips away from the usual multi storey car park and other recommended , online paid parking? 🙂 I’ve been checking the map at Paisley Road West over the other side of the Clyde where it looks more residential.

Andyjaxs Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 The last few times I have been I have parked at the NCP Car park on Oswald street. 20/25 minute walk but still much quicker get away than the multi story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagger Is Back Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Last few times I’ve been there I’ve parked near McDonalds on Houldsworth Street. Residential area and I’ve always managed to find a space. 10/15 minutes walk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossaldinho Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 It was closed last time but the car park beside the Hilton across the road from the Hydro is where we park. It's only about a 5er to park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broxburnjambo Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Paid Parking on the streets over the flyover bridge have been extended to midnight, however Dover Street is free from 18:30. 5 / 10 minute walk to the Hydro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougal Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Can park at the Science centre. 5 minute walk to the Hydro. Costs £6. I'm down in Ayrshire so it's easier to get to for me. It is a little further to drive but you'll get out much quicker than the multi story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it they relax restrictions on that car park in the evening as I thought it’d be customer parking during the day? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve parked near Glasgow/Springfield Quay over the water before when I took my daughter to her concerts and myself and the missus hung around for a few hours, but its a bit further to walk to the hydro. There’s also industrial units nearby (Watt Street)which I imagine would be free parking? Ive just not been for a few years so don’t know if things have changed.

CF11JamTart Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Simple Minds? Enjoy yourself. I'm off to see them in Cardiff next week. Really looking forward to it. Delayed 2 years to the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinnybob72 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I’ve parked in Minerva Street on the other side of the railway - don’t think it was metered last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a look there. Think it’s metered. No hassle anyway. Decided to give the Science Centre a bash as recommended by Dougal. Hopefully get a spot as 6 quid isn’t bad at all.

There doesn't seem to be any restrictions on parking there. I parked there a couple of Saturdays ago to go to Hydro. No problems and plenty of spaces.

Was a good shout mate👍🏻 Only issue was the wait afterwards to validate yer parking ticket as the queues were huge, but that’s expected.

TheRavenThatRefusedToSing Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 The Springside retail park. 15-20min walk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Fredrickson Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I would also recommend the Science Centre car park. A short walk but a quick exit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We must have got lucky as there wasn't much of a queue. Hopefully it was still quicker and cheaper than the multistorey car park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
His name is Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Slightly off topic, am I right in thinking that the hydro was initially planed to be built in Edinburgh down by ocean terminal? I think Edinburgh Council refused to put their hand in the pocket so it was moved to Glasgow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our council would rather waste billions on a vanity tram project than give the people of Edinburgh something they would enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
