Students and staff who need a permit are directed to the university Parking Portal Pages for applications and eligibility (chester.ac.uk). General parking enquiries can be sent to parking@chester.ac.uk (chester.ac.uk). The university's alternative parking information lists a 168-space car park with charges of £4 for up to 2 hours, £4.90 for 2 to 4 hours, £5.90 for 4 to 6 hours and £7.80 for over 6 hours (chester.ac.uk). Arrivals after 3pm park free in that car park (chester.ac.uk). ## Busy Periods Around the Chester Campus Parking is hardest when normal campus demand combines with local traffic, particularly during university term times. The Exton Park information describes on-campus parking as limited and recommends public transport or walking where possible (chester.ac.uk). That makes early planning especially useful for students and staff arriving for a full day on Parkgate Road. Localised congestion is identified alongside university car parking and air quality in the institution's travel information (chester.ac.uk). Show map of Chester ## Other Car Parks Near the University of Chester For drivers who do not have campus parking, the university's alternative-parking leaflet identifies a nearby car park with 168 spaces and a graduated stay-based tariff (chester.ac.uk). The charge is £4 for up to 2 hours, £4.90 for 2 to 4 hours, £5.90 for 4 to 6 hours and £7.80 for over 6 hours (chester.ac.uk). Arrivals after 3pm park free there (chester.ac.uk), which can suit an afternoon or evening visit. The leaflet also lists another car park tariff at £1.20 for 1 hour (chester.ac.uk). These options are useful alternatives when a campus permit is unavailable, although the Exton Park guidance says campus parking is limited and recommends walking or public transport (chester.ac.uk). Chester centre is 0.7 mi from the campus, so central parking can work for drivers prepared to walk onward. ## Parksy Spaces Near Parkgate Road Parksy has a driveway space near St Martins Clinic, 0.3 mi from the campus, priced at £3.10 a day. A space on Northgate Avenue is 0.3 mi away and costs £2.40 an hour, while hotel parking at Best Western Westminster Hotel is also 0.3 mi away at £2.40 an hour. The three close options suit visitors, short appointments and students needing a nearby paid space. Northgate Medical Centre parking is 0.4 mi away at £3.10 a day. Countess of Chester Hospital parking is 0.5 mi away and costs £4 a day, making the daily spaces practical for staff or students staying for several hours. Crowne Plaza Chester parking is 0.7 mi away at £3.10 a day, matching the campus-to-centre distance and offering another option for longer visits. ## Rail and Walking Access to the Campus Chester Northgate railway station is the nearest station listed for the University of Chester, at 0.4 mi from the campus and an 8 min walk. The station gives rail users a straightforward alternative to driving, particularly when campus parking is limited. The university says its sites are well connected to train stations, bus routes and main roads (chester.ac.uk). The campus is on Parkgate Road, while Chester centre is 0.7 mi away. Students, staff and visitors arriving by train can therefore combine the station walk with the short onward route to the university instead of seeking a space at the campus.
