A council-run pay-and-display car park is also identified for Discovery Point, with parking charged at £32 (goindustrial.co.uk). Blue Badge holders can park free when displaying their badge in the adjacent car park (dundeeheritagetrust.co.uk). Coach drivers have a [free parking](https://www.parksy.com/parking-near-me) option on Miln Street, subject to availability, while the attraction also has a car park beside the building where parking fees apply (dundeeheritagetrust.co.uk). ## Parksy Parking Spaces Near the Waterfront Site Parksy lists a secure 24/7 parking space at Constitution Crescent, 0.3 mi from the site, priced at £2.38 an hour. The listing suits drivers who want round-the-clock access rather than a space beside the museum. A space at the Best Western Queen is 0.4 mi away and costs £5.10 a day. Two further priced options are 0.5 mi away: secure 24/7 lighted parking at £2.50 an hour, and parking near Ninewells Hospital at £5.10 a day. For longer walks into the Waterfront, secure city-centre parking with disabled access is 0.8 mi away at £5.10 a day. Hillbank Health Centre has another listed space, 0.9 mi away, priced at £3.25 a day. Show map of Newington ## Busy Waterfront Parking and Nearby Street Rules Group visits can increase pressure around Discovery Point because coach parking on Miln Street is subject to availability (dundeeheritagetrust.co.uk). Drivers arriving with a coach should treat the Miln Street provision as a limited facility and use the adjacent car park for ordinary visitor vehicles. The council’s variable-stay car parks have a Sunday operating period of 1pm to 6pm (dundeecity.gov.uk). Parking around Waterfront, near Newington, therefore needs to follow the signed restrictions and the operating conditions of the chosen council facility rather than relying on unrestricted kerbside space. ## Walking From Dundee Railway Station to the Waterfront Dundee railway station is the nearest station to the site, at 294 yd or a 4 min walk. The short station-to-attraction journey makes rail a practical alternative when the adjacent car park is busy. The station places visitors close to 1 Riverside Esplanade, Waterfront, Dundee, DD1 4EZ, with the museum and ship located in the Waterfront area near Newington. Drivers using a Parksy space farther from Discovery Point can combine parking with the same central walking approach.
