Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Other Car Parks Around Cardiff Bay [NCP](https://www.parksy.com/blog/national-car-parks-ncp-united-kingdom-parking-review) lists Cardiff Bay parking for visitors approaching from the M4, with drivers leaving at Junction 33 and exiting the A4232 at the junction signposted to Techniquest and Mermaid Quay (ncp.co.uk). This gives drivers coming from the motorway a named route into the waterfront area rather than requiring a city-centre approach. The centre’s car park has been described as reopened after reconstruction, with capacity for hundreds of extra vehicles and dedicated cycle parking (visitcardiff.com). Cardiff Harbour also identifies bus stops serving the centre and provides a Blue Badge parking helpline on 029 2087 3232, open Monday to Friday from 9.30am to 12pm (cardiffharbour.com). ## Parksy Spaces Close to Mermaid Quay Parksy lists a driveway space in Cardiff, CF10, 328 yards away, at £4.50 an hour. A space at Rimini House in Cardiff Bay is 0.4 miles away and costs £8 an hour, while secure parking at Hansen Court is 0.5 miles away at £5 a day. Near Grangetown Health Centre, a space is 0.7 miles away at £4.20 a day. Two further spaces are listed at Asda Cardiff Bay and Novotel Cardiff Roxby Court, both 0.8 miles away, at £4 an hour and £6.50 an hour respectively. The CF10 driveway or Hansen Court space can beat the centre tariff for a longer stay, while the daily-priced Grangetown space can suit a full day. Show map of Butetown ## Busy Times and Parking Rules at the Waterfront The centre’s car park is used by visitors to the Cardiff Bay waterfront, where the operator describes parking as convenient, secure and accessible (mermaidquay.co.uk). The centre’s published tariff is arranged by stay length, from up to 1 hour through to 6 to 12 hours, so the exit time matters when choosing between a quick visit and a longer meal or cinema trip. Reconstruction added capacity for hundreds of vehicles and introduced dedicated cycle parking (visitcardiff.com). A later report records 679 spaces and ticketless operation (walesonline.co.uk). Drivers arriving for busy shopping periods or waterfront events have a larger facility than before, but should still allow time to enter and leave the car park during crowded periods. ## Walking From Cardiff Bay Railway Station Cardiff Bay railway station is the nearest station, 0.3 miles from Mermaid Quay, around a 6-minute walk. The short rail connection makes the centre practical for visitors who would rather avoid parking around the waterfront. The destination is at Cei'r Fôr-forwyn, Cardiff Bay, Cardiff, CF10 5BZ, near Butetown. Cardiff Harbour identifies bus stops for Mermaid Quay, and its directions page gives a Blue Badge parking helpline on 029 2087 3232, open Monday to Friday from 9.30am to 12pm (cardiffharbour.com).
