The university states that parking is not available for students at Queen’s Park, while its alternative parking leaflet lists a car park for Riverside with 168 spaces (chester.ac.uk). The leaflet names payment rates 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, with [free parking](https://www.parksy.com/parking-near-me) for arrivals after 3pm (chester.ac.uk). Those rates are the useful official reference for visitors who need to drive close to the campus, but students should not plan on using campus parking. The University of Chester also says all three Park and Ride routes, PR1, PR2 and PR3, have connections within walking distance of its central sites (chester.ac.uk). Staff, visitors and students therefore need to distinguish the Riverside car park information from the university’s stated student restriction. ## When Parking Is Hardest Around Riverside These periods bring more visitors to City Walls and Handbridge than an ordinary day, so arriving early is particularly useful when a visit has a fixed start time. The university’s published parking information gives the Riverside car park a capacity of 168 spaces and says arrivals after 3pm park free (chester.ac.uk). Use the university’s student parking position as a planning constraint: parking is not available for students at Queen’s Park (chester.ac.uk). The campus address is City Walls, Handbridge, Chester, CH1 1SL, so visitors should avoid assuming that nearby residential streets provide a university parking alternative. Show map of Queens Park ## Other Car Parks Near the Campus The university’s alternative parking leaflet is the main nearby public option identified for Riverside. It lists 168 spaces and charges £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 according to the same leaflet (chester.ac.uk). This option suits a visitor who wants a published tariff rather than relying on an informal street space. The price bands cover short appointments and longer campus visits, while the after-3pm rule is particularly relevant for evening teaching, late meetings or events starting later in the day. The university says parking is not available for students at Queen’s Park (chester.ac.uk). Students travelling to classes should therefore consider the three Park and Ride routes, PR1, PR2 and PR3, which the university says have connections within walking distance to its sites (chester.ac.uk), rather than treating nearby car parks as student permits. ## Parksy Spaces Near University of Chester - Riverside Campus Parksy lists a secure 24/7 garage in Chester, CH1 1DW, 0.2 mi away, at £10 a day. A driveway near Handbridge Medical Centre is 0.3 mi away and costs £2 a day. The garage is the stronger fit for staff or visitors needing round-the-clock access, while the driveway suits a lower-cost daytime visit close to Handbridge. There are also two secure 24/7 parking spaces in Chester at Grey Friars, CH1, 0.3 mi away, priced at £4.50 an hour, and a space at Upton Grange, Ellesmere Port, 0.3 mi away, priced at £1.07 an hour. The Grey Friars option is the more relevant choice for a short visit near central Chester; the Upton Grange listing is less naturally suited to a Riverside class despite the displayed distance. Further listings include a space at Lache Health Centre, Chester, 0.4 mi away, at £3.30 an hour, and a space at Heathlane Medical Centre, Chester, 0.4 mi away, at £3.60 a day. These priced spaces give visitors and staff alternatives to the official car park tariff, while students can compare them with Park and Ride travel. ## Rail and Walking Access to Riverside Chester Northgate railway station is the nearest station listed for University of Chester - Riverside Campus, at 0.7 mi and a 15-minute walk. Chester railway station is also within walking range, at about an 18-minute walk. The University of Chester’s active travel map says Chester station is within 20 minutes’ walk of the Kingsway and Riverside campuses (chestercyclecity.org), supporting rail travel for students and staff coming into Chester. The university says PR1, PR2 and PR3 Park and Ride routes have connections within walking distance to its central sites (chester.ac.uk).
