Dundee Railway Station Car Park on Springs Gardens
The station has one short-stay car park at Springs Gardens, with 10 available spaces (thetrainline.com). National Rail lists 9 station parking spaces and 2 accessible parking spaces, so drivers should allow for limited capacity close to the platforms (nationalrail.co.uk).
Short stays are the stated arrangement for the Springs Gardens car park (thetrainline.com). The entry location is useful for a quick drop-off or brief visit, but the published capacity makes it a poor bet for a full commuter day when trains are busy.
Planning a Weekday Stay Near the Waterfront Platforms
Commuters using the station car park need to account for the first-come, first-served arrangement described by ScotRail (scotrail.co.uk). With only 10 spaces reported at Springs Gardens and 9 station spaces listed by National Rail, availability is likely to be tight around the busiest departures, particularly for drivers arriving close to train time (thetrainline.com; nationalrail.co.uk).
The council's parking update also says some parking can be free of charge, but the published result does not connect that statement to a specific station space or time period (dundeecity.gov.uk). For a planned full-day journey, the council tariff and the short-stay description are the key details to weigh before choosing the station car park.
Parksy Spaces Within Walking Distance of Dundee Station
Parksy lists an inexpensive driveway-style option at the Best Western Queen, 0.2 miles away, costing £5.10 a day. It suits a day trip or a commuter who wants a daily rate rather than paying the station's published all-day tariff. A 24/7 secure space on Constitution Crescent is 0.3 miles away at £2.38 an hour, making it more flexible for shorter visits.
Two further secure spaces are 0.4 miles away: one is lighted and available 24/7 at £2.50 an hour, while another offers disabled access in Dundee city centre at £5.10 a day. A space near Hawkhill Day Hospital is 0.8 miles away at £5.10 a day. The 0.2-mile and 0.3-mile spaces are the most practical for the platforms, while the hourly options suit variable return times.
Street Parking Around Riverside Drive and the Waterfront
The station address is Riverside Drive, Waterfront, Dundee, DD1 4BZ.
Those council tariffs apply to the authority's variable-stay multi-storey car parks rather than automatically confirming a space on Riverside Drive. The station's own published all-day tariff is £20 for 2026/27 (dundeecity.gov.uk). ScotRail says its station car parks are first come, first served (scotrail.co.uk), so a driver choosing nearby council parking should use the signed bay and tariff information at the selected car park rather than treating unrestricted kerbside parking as a station alternative.

The station is in the Waterfront area, with the entrance address on Riverside Drive.

Drivers making a short transfer can therefore use the designated station access arrangements instead of relying on a long-stay parking plan.
