Parking enforcement is in place, and overnight parking is not permitted (Better.org.uk). The operator’s cashless parking information lists Maindy Crown Way with a charge of £1.50 for one hour and £3.50 for two hours (Connect Cashless Parking). A Cardiff parking guide lists approximately 150 spaces and tariffs of £1.50 for one hour, £3.50 for two hours, £4.50 for three hours, £6.50 for four hours and £8 for six hours (Total Guide to Cardiff). The differing published space counts and tariff details make the centre’s own parking signs particularly important on an event day. ## Car Parks and Transport Alternatives Near Maindy Maindy Crown Way is the named parking location in the operator’s cashless system, with payment linked to Parking Code 1 ([APCOA](https://www.parksy.com/blog/apcoa-parking-united-kingdom-review-pros-cons-summary-services) Connect). The listed tariff is £1.50 for one hour (APCOA Connect), while Connect Cashless Parking lists £3.50 for two hours (Connect Cashless Parking). A Cardiff parking guide identifies Maindy Centre Car Park on Crown Way and gives a six-hour tariff of £8 (Total Guide to Cardiff). The guide also lists the car park as having approximately 150 spaces (Total Guide to Cardiff). These are the named local paid-parking details available for drivers staying beyond a short visit, while the venue’s separate three-hour free-parking information applies to the centre facilities (Better.org.uk). Show map of Cathays ## Parksy Parking Spaces Around Maindy Parksy lists six spaces 0.3 mi from the venue. Other priced listings 0.3 mi away are a space at Regus Cardiff Gate Business Park at £2.50 an hour, a space on Clos Dewi Sant in Adamsdown at £6.60 a day, and a space in Whitchurch at £3.30 a day. Each listed option is 0.3 mi from the venue, so the walk after a show or match is the final part of the journey and should be allowed for when comparing the spaces. ## Restrictions and Enforcement on Crown Way Parking enforcement operates at the venue, and overnight parking is prohibited (Better.org.uk). The rule applies to the centre’s car park, so a vehicle left after a late event can be subject to the site’s enforcement arrangements rather than treated as an unrestricted overnight space. The operator identifies the parking location as Maindy Crown Way and uses Parking Code 1 in its cashless parking information (APCOA Connect). Connect Cashless Parking also identifies the location as Maindy Crown Way and lists the parking fee as comprising the tariff and a convenience fee (Connect Cashless Parking). Drivers attending a busy event therefore need to use the designated parking arrangement for the visit and leave before overnight parking begins. ## Walking and Rail Access to Maindy Centre Cardiff Queen Street railway station is the nearest station, 1.3 mi from the venue and a 27-minute walk. The route gives rail passengers a direct walking option for reaching Crown Way without needing to park at the centre. The venue is at Crown Way, Cathays, Cardiff, CF14 3AJ. For visitors arriving by train, the 27-minute walk from Cardiff Queen Street is the stated station connection, while drivers using a Parksy space 0.3 mi away have a shorter final walk than the rail approach.
