    Is the Lonsdale B car park in Blackpool safe for overnight parking ?
  • for free parking you have to go along front until you come to the windmills and sparkle ball from there on, parking is free.

    in the other direction its from the hilton hotel on the front there are no parking meters

    there are a number of streets within this area but finding a spot will depend on number of people staying there

    both direction give good sea front walks in to town.
    I know you may find this as being a longish walk but on a good sunny day its not bad. any parking with in town center is alot some 2 pound an hour its alot to pay
    you may as well park further away and use the tram which will be more fun than parking nearer and paying alot for parking

    Hi

    I'd check if the parking on the prom near the glitterball is free. I thought it was free out of season but there were charges during the season.

    To be honest I'm not worried about paying for the parking as the council car parks in Blackpool are only £19 for Monday to Friday. The Lonsdale B would be the nearest but I'm just a wee bit worried about how safe it is overnight. I've always used Rigby Road without any problems but has now been closed.

    we are visiting blackpool in a couple of weeks. we are staying in the doric hotel on queens prom north of the north pier. I wondered if it would be better finding cheap/free parking near our hotel and walking or tram into the centre and the attractions. We need to pick up our merlin pass from blackpool tower. With it being out of season i was hoping that parking would not be as much a problem as during the summer months. Thank you

    Last time I went to Blackpool about 3-4 years ago I was able to buy a parking pass from the Tourist Information Centre opposite the Tower. A 3 day pass allowing parking in certain car parks was £12 back then.
