As of Friday 19th September, the public section of Devil's Point car park has reopened following resurfacing and improvement works. In addition, more than 100 new parking spaces created as part of the Royal William Yard car parking expansion project will open soon.

What's Changed

Devil's Point car park has been reconfigured following the recent extension of Royal William Yard's parking facilities. The site now operates as two distinct areas. To help distinguish between the two parking areas:

• BLUE painted spaces = Free public parking (3-hour limit)
• WHITE painted spaces = Chargeable Royal William Yard parking

Public Parking

• Available 24/7
• Free to use
• Modern ticketless system using ANPR cameras – no tickets required
• Up to 3 hours maximum stay
• No return within 2 hours
• 5 dedicated disabled access bays provided
• Identified by blue painted space and signageThe car park remains publicly owned by Plymouth City Council
• Managed by SIP Car Parks
• Full terms and conditions are displayed on site signage – including details of parking charges for breaching conditions.

Easier Experience

Under the new management arrangement between Plymouth City Council and Urban Splash, visitors will benefit from:

• Modern ticketless parking – simply drive in and out of the public parking area
• Enhanced security with 24-hour camera monitoring
• Better accessibility following full resurfacing and re-marking
• Signage and information across both areas
• Single management system reducing confusion between neighbouring car parks.

Queries

The car park remains in public ownership, with PCC retaining responsibility for maintenance, but day-to-day operation will now be managed by SIP Car Parks, Urban Splash’s parking operator. For any parking-related queries or complaints, please contact SIP Car Parks through their established customer service process.

Disabled Parking

Please note that disabled motorists should pay to park, and must display a blue badge if using the disabled parking bays. We offer 11 dedicated disabled parking bays, and if these are occupied, drivers are welcome to use any other visitor spaces at the Yard.

Bikes

Motorcyclists also need to pay for parking in the new changes, but we have introduced a rate starting from 75p, please see the tariff signs details. Cyclists do not pay to park at the Yard and there is plenty of lock-up space for bikes.

Other Options

Find additional car park locations in Plymouth at www.plymouth.gov.uk/carparks or Parkopedia. Another option for parking nearby at weekends is Stonehouse Creek, which is a 250-space pay and display car park. Around a 10 minute walk from Royal William Yard, this car park is open to the public at weekends. You may wish to consider this option during events, when parking is limited.
