The official visitor information says the main car park accommodates more than 1,100 vehicles, with additional overflow parking available nearby (paigntonzoo.uk). The car park serves visitors arriving at the zoo rather than providing a town-centre parking base. The entrance is beside the roundabout, with the zoo car park on the left when approaching from the roundabout (englishriviera.co.uk). ## Busy Days and Roads Around Battersway Road School holidays, sunny weekends and days with good weather are likely to put the greatest pressure on the free parking at the site, because the attraction draws visitors for a full day and has overflow provision for periods when the main area fills. The approach is on Battersway Road in Tweenaways, near Torquay, with the zoo car park reached from the roundabout and positioned to the left (englishriviera.co.uk). Show map of Torquay ## Parksy Parking Spaces Near the Zoo Parksy lists a 24/7 parking lot in Torbay with EV charging, 0.5 miles from the site, at £3.50 an hour. At 0.9 miles, a secure 24/7 parking lot in Paignton is listed at £4.50 a day, while parking at Corner Place Surgery in Paignton is listed at £0.92 an hour. These are useful alternatives when you want a booked space rather than relying on the attraction's free car park. For longer stays, a secure Stashbee parking space in Paignton is listed 186 yards away at £50 a month. Further options include parking at Best Western Livermead Cliff in Torquay, 2.4 miles away at £9.30 a day, and a secure space in Torquay, 3.3 miles away at £9.30 a day. The distances and prices are the Parksy listing details, so they are best read as separate options for drivers comparing proximity, charging access and stay length. ## Other Named Parking Near Paignton Zoo The official visitor information names the zoo's own free on-site car park as the principal facility and says that additional overflow parking is available nearby (paigntonzoo.uk). The overflow area is intended to absorb demand when the main provision is busy, making it the most directly connected alternative for visitors who want to remain close to the entrance. The zoo is near Morrisons, and the approach from the roundabout places the car park on the left (englishriviera.co.uk). Drivers should use the zoo's signed parking areas rather than treating nearby retail parking as a free alternative. ## Train and Walking Access From Goodrington Sands Goodrington Sands railway station is the nearest station to Paignton Zoo, at 1.0 mile away and a 21-minute walk from the site. The station provides a practical rail option for visitors who would rather avoid driving to Battersway Road, although the final approach is still a walk through the local area.
