Students and staff receive discounted rates when paying through ParkUS (salford.ac.uk). Visitor parking is available, and parking must be paid for when you arrive (parkus.uk). For non-students and non-staff, the published charges are £2.50 for up to one hour, £5 for one to three hours, and £8 for four to six hours (salford.ac.uk). Current students can buy an annual parking session, with permits valid until 30th September 2027 (shop.salford.ac.uk). Monthly student parking is available through ParkUS at £28 per month (shop.salford.ac.uk). ## Parksy Parking Spaces Beside the Salford Quays Campus The closest priced Parksy options are a covered space at The Lightbox and a space at The Pitch in M50, both 87 yd away. The Lightbox costs £9.75 an hour and offers 24/7 access, making it useful for staff, students with irregular timetables and visitors needing late access. The Pitch costs £15 an hour and is suited to short visits when proximity matters most. A 24/7 space at The Greenhouse in Salford M50 is 117 yd away at £10 an hour. A covered space at The Lowry Theatre is 280 yd away at £6.50 an hour, while parking at Holiday Inn Manchester-Mediacityuk is 326 yd away at £5.50 an hour. The MediaCity space is 0.2 mi away, available 24/7, and costs £4.50 an hour, giving students and visitors the lowest priced option among these spaces. Show map of Quays ## Shopping-Centre and Council Parking Around Salford Quays MediaCity is a practical alternative for drivers who want to park away from the campus itself. The nearby Parksy listing places a 24/7 space there 0.2 mi from the university, at £4.50 an hour, making the area particularly useful for visitors attending meetings or spending time around the Quays. The Lowry Theatre and Holiday Inn Manchester-Mediacityuk also provide nearby alternatives, at 280 yd and 326 yd respectively. The Lowry option is covered and costs £6.50 an hour, while the Holiday Inn option costs £5.50 an hour. These locations suit visitors who prefer parking close to the venues and MediaCity facilities rather than using the campus car park. ## Busy Parking Periods and Street Restrictions Near the Campus Parking pressure is likely to be highest during student and staff arrival periods, when campus demand is concentrated around teaching and working hours. Visitors should also expect stronger demand during university open days, campus events and activity around MediaCity and The Lowry. The campus uses controlled paid parking rather than unrestricted visitor parking: payment is required at arrival, and ParkUS or pay-and-display machines are the stated payment routes (parkus.uk; salford.ac.uk). Parking on surrounding streets should therefore be treated separately from campus parking, with local restrictions and signs governing whether a space can be used. ## Rail and Walking Routes to the Salford Quays Campus Manchester United Football Ground railway station is the nearest listed station, 0.8 mi from the campus with a 17-minute walk. This provides a rail option for staff, students and visitors who would rather avoid driving into Salford Quays. The campus is also close to the wider Quays area, with the Quays centre 291 yd away. Drivers using a nearby parking space can combine parking with a walk through the neighbourhood, while rail users can continue on foot from Manchester United Football Ground railway station to the university address at Orange.
