Southgate Car Park - Parking in Bath

Tip: use the SMS service to pay for parking it's quick easy and you can add more time while you're away from your car.

Awesome if you have time to kill and like a challenge. I parked my car and looked around, saw a post with A30 written on it and wandered off looking for a way out. Found some stairs. Climbed endless flights and came to a plain white door with a sign that said "Fire Exit". I pushed it and found myself on a street. After doing what I needed to do I went looking for the car park. I knew it was underneath where I was walking but I couldn't find a way in. I likened it to some computer games where you need to find the secret entrance to the next level. I walked past the car entrance but I didn't want to run the gauntlet of all those cars in those narrow lanes so kept looking for a door. Eventually I found a way in and got in a lift. I had no idea what level my car was on so picked one at random. It was wrong. They are colour coded and I didn't notice the colour. A nice woman told me that the only level with numbers on the posts was the blue level so I went and found the blue level and eventually found my car. I got my phone out and tried to pay with the app I'd installed but there was no signal. I found a pay machine where it took my money and then I left. All in all an interesting experience. I'm sure it's easy if you are a regular but I would only recommend it to a stranger if they had masochistic tendencies and liked a challenge. I think I'll use the park & ride next time.

Located just off the centre of the shopping part of bath with access to the main highstreet/ retail area. Doesn't get 5 starts because on my visit the notice saying how many spaces and on what floors was broken, but otherwise a good carpark.

You pay for parking on arrival, so if you end up staying longer you'll need to return and add a new ticket. At busy times... Christmas/Bath rugby there are large queues at the ticket machines.

Stella

The car park is due to be downsized soon...

Excellent car park in Bath. Made even simpler now it is ticketless. Very conveniently located. Spaces are nice and big.

This is our goto car park. Why? Well you can usually get a space without to much hassle, and it's just the easiest to get in and out of at busy times. There is an outdoor parking area along with a multistory. This is a typical 70's type of structure and is pretty ugly.

It's an underground carpark. Doesn't have the most expensive prices I've ever seen, also isn't laid out like a maze and 100% Doesn't smell like a toilet.

Benjamin

Ignoring the price for parking in Bath.. Which is generallly horrendous wherever you park.

Ellie

This is the only place we park if we drive downtown now. It is ticketless which makes it easier and now they have the Glide app which makes parking cheaper. If you park after 6pm and use the app it is way cheaper than a bus fare. Centrally located in Bath and easy to use with lots of spaces most times.

The car park is at the bottom of town literally a 3-5 minute walk from Southgat.
