Union Square in Aberdeen has a ticketless-entry car park, while free motorcycle parking is provided in designated bays directly opposite JD Sports; no ticket is required for those motorcycle bays (unionsquareaberdeen.com).

Parksy Parking Near Jurys Inn, Woodend Hospital and Aberdeen Douglas Hotel
Parksy lists a priced parking space at Jurys Inn in Aberdeen, shown at 0 yards, costing £2.90 a day. That type of low daily rate suits a driver who needs a booked space near the city-centre location represented by Jurys Inn rather than relying on a free bay.
Parksy also lists parking at Woodend Hospital, shown at 0 yards, at £3 an hour, and parking at Aberdeen Douglas Hotel, shown at 0 yards, at £1.41 an hour. The Woodend Hospital space is a practical named option for a hospital visit, while the Aberdeen Douglas Hotel space suits a short central stop. Further Parksy listings show secure 24/7 parking in Aberdeen at 210 yards for £7.12 a day and £6.24 a day, plus a £72.99 weekly option. Those 210-yard spaces give drivers a nearby paid choice when free parking is full.
Aberdeen City Parking Zones and Controlled Hours
Aberdeen City Council divides on-street parking into named zones, so the applicable hours depend on the street’s zone. Zones H, J, K, N and P are controlled Monday to Saturday from 8am to 8pm, while Zones L, M, M extended and W are controlled Monday to Saturday from 8am to 6pm (aberdeencity.gov.uk). Zone T is controlled Monday to Friday from 8am to 6pm.
Zones V and X are also listed by Aberdeen City Council among the city’s on-street parking zones, with their arrangements set out separately from Zones H, J, K, N, P, L, M, M extended, W and T (aberdeencity.gov.uk). A driver using a free motorcycle bay at Union Square is covered by a different site-specific arrangement: the designated bays opposite JD Sports are free and do not require a ticket (unionsquareaberdeen.com). The Union Square motorcycle concession is not a free car-parking concession.
Park-and-Ride and Low-Cost Choices When Aberdeen Free Spaces Fill
Aberdeen City Council’s published roads, parking and travel service groups parking information with public transport and other travel services, giving drivers a council route into the city’s parking arrangements (aberdeencity.gov.uk). The named evidence identifies Union Square’s free provision as motorcycle parking in designated bays opposite JD Sports, rather than a free general car park.
For a booked paid alternative, Parksy lists Jurys Inn parking at £2.90 a day and shows it at 0 yards. Parksy also lists secure 24/7 Aberdeen parking 210 yards away at £6.24 a day or £7.12 a day, with a weekly listing at £72.99. These options provide specific paid spaces when a free car bay is unavailable.
Aberdeen City Parking Penalties and Online Challenges
Aberdeen City Council provides an online service to pay a parking Penalty Charge Notice and to view information about the contravention (aberdeencity.gov.uk). The council’s appeal service also allows a driver to appeal a parking Penalty Charge Notice and view the contravention online, although details may take up to 24 hours from issue before they appear.
