Park and rides

If you like avoiding the hassle of city centre parking then Preston has two park and rides to choose from. With regular buses travelling from the sites to the city centre, both park and rides take you effortlessly into the heart of Preston.

Portway and Harrington Road

Portway and Harrington Road Park and Ride is located near Preston Docks, and is even close enough for a short stroll into the city centre instead of the bus.

For details on this park and ride visit Lancashire County Council - Portway park and ride.

Capitol Centre

The Capitol Centre Park and Ride is a great way of combining all the fun of the Capitol Centre Retail Park with the city centre. The park and ride has regular buses, or a scenic path along the River Ribble into the city centre nearby.

For details on the Capitol Centre park and ride visit Lancashire County Council - Park and Ride.
