Decent sized car park. Has some disabled parking bays, free to park for disabled badge holders. Handy location for town, as just a quick nip through to the other side to get to all amenities. Parking charges apply from 0800 to 1800. Sundays and Bank Holidays are free except Good Friday. Up to 1 hour - 70p Up to 2 hours - £1.20 Up to 4 hours - £2 Over 4 hours - £4.30
Machines frequently not accepting cash. Quite frustrating for a lot of users. Otherwise a decent enough car park.
Decent sized car park and fair prices but can get very busy when there's events in Pontefract.
As car parks go this is up there with some of the best, could be bigger but you can't win em all!
Plenty of places to park, easy reach of the town centre. The app was easy to use also!
