University parking is managed through the University of South Wales parking service, which lists separate staff, student and visitor arrangements and operates an automatic number plate recognition system (southwales.ac.uk). Daily users of the student and visitor car parks pay £1 for up to 5 hours or £2 for any period over 5 hours (southwales.ac.uk). The ANPR system operates in the Llantwit Road car park, Sports Park, Glyntaff Upper and Glyntaff Lower (southwales.ac.uk). Staff parking and electric vehicle charging are also covered by the university's parking service (southwales.ac.uk). ## Busy Periods Around the Pontypridd Campus Drivers attending an open day or another campus event should allow extra time for arrival, particularly when visitor spaces are being used by several groups at once. Parking in surrounding residential streets is not a substitute for a campus permit or visitor payment where restrictions and signs apply, so using a marked university car park is the practical choice for a full campus visit.

These locations can suit drivers who want to leave the immediate university area before walking or continuing by local transport. Pontypridd Health Centre is a further option, with a listed space 1.2 miles away. The Parksy listings also include public-facing locations at Royal Hospital, Pontyclun, 3.8 miles away, and Morrisons in Caerphilly, 4.0 miles away. The Caerphilly Morrisons listing is a car-park space, while the Royal Hospital listing is associated with hospital parking. The hospital advises visitors not to park in strictly no-parking areas because access must remain clear for emergencies (ctmuhb.nhs.wales). ## Parksy Spaces Near the Pontypridd University For a short visit, a Sainsbury's car-park space in Pontypridd is 0.9 miles away and costs £3.25 an hour.
