Reasonable value car parks in Blackpool.

Does anyone know of a cheap car park within a 5-10 minute walk of the Pleasure Beach?

if you go past the pleasure beach at the big blue hotel side there is lots of free street parking.

Have agreat time in blackpool. You can park for free up near the Wintergardens on a Sunday also.

After driving about for a while I ended up going to the church street car park. It cost £4 for 10 hours which is obviously not as good as free but is better than the £8 that some car parks were charging.
I set off as soon as I finished typing my last post so I missed out on your last 2 suggestions but I will be keeping them in mind for when I go next time.
(Had a nice time there although it p*ssed down on the way past Preston but it wasa false alarm as it was fine and sunny at Blackpool all day)

Wish I had read this before I went to Blackpool for the day today!

It now costs £9 in the big central car park near Coral Island/Bonny Street Market/Tower for 8 hours! They have conveniently forgotten to make a price for 6 hours so you have to pay for 4 hours (not usually long enough) or 8 hours (a bit too long sometimes so the car parks get money for nothing).

I wouldn't mind if it was a decent car park perhaps with some security but it is a mish mash of lots of little car parks with confusing entries and exits.

Will look out for the cheaper ones listed next time, thanks.

This is what got on my nerves which is why I asked about cheaper parking in the first place. They are really hoping people are forced into paying for 8 hours. I did not see any free parking but am pretty sure you could find somewhere eventually.

Hi all, I am from Blackpool and used to live right in by the North Promenade - very noisy in peak season as you can imagine, but also fun. If you are a day-tripper to Blackpool I agree about finding some street parking as I too out of principle hate to pay for... well most things, especially parking.

Find a secure car park if you are staying over night or you may get keyed by a drunken fool.
