Still plenty of free street parking within a couple of minutes walk of the the Pleasure Beach, all of it just off the promenade - you have to pay to park there so don't bother. The south entrance to the fair is closed which is where most of the spaces are, but if you're really lucky you can get a space almost opposite the north entrance, just behind the tacky looking crazy golf course.

Why did you not choose a B&B in South Shore with parking? Park onsite then walk to the park!!

There are many simply put b&b with parking near Pleasure Beach Blackpool into google!!

Works for me every time!!

I know this is an old post but for anyone going to Blackpool Pleasure Beach that wants free parking for the day, just make sure you get there early and then follow the instructions from the last few posts. If all else fails then just go a few streets back and park outside someone's house.

To update everyone Blackpool Council has hiked parking charges this year on it's car parks and instigated more parking restrictions on the streets surrounding the popular attractions in an effort to drive more revenue through their car parks.

It is imperative for those looking for free parking to check the roadside posts for the restrictions. If you park in contravention you will get a ticket as Blackpool council look on this as a nice little earner for them.

My kids have season passes for the Pleasure beach and we go around 4 or 5 times a year always making a day and a night of it by staying over. It is not expensive and you can park your car at the B&B and walk to the park. We have used this place more than once. http://www.moorbankhouse.co.uk

i always park for free in a side street opposite the airport and then either walk or catch a tram up to town.
