Drivers visiting the former site should use nearby public parking rather than expecting an attraction car park. The National Aquarium, also on Marine Parade, provides free off-street parking for cars, charter buses and tour coaches, with accessible parking directly outside (nationalaquarium.co.nz). This is the nearest clearly identified attraction parking option for visitors heading to the 290 Marine Parade address. ## Parksy Parking Spaces Near the Marine Parade Site Parksy lists a secure commercial garage space in Napier 630 m from the site at $2 an hour. This is the closest priced Parksy option in the local listings and suits drivers who prefer a designated garage rather than searching along Marine Parade. A priced Parksy space at Parnell Train Station Car Park is listed 680 m away at $3 an hour. The two 680 m listings are priced differently, so the garage space is the lower-cost choice among these nearby options.
