From the 1^st February this year, the parking tariff will be increasing at all Nene Park car parks. 

As a charity with no public funding towards running costs, Nene Park Trust relies heavily on parking income to enable it to continue to maintain, nurture and develop the beautiful landscapes of Nene Park and the wide range of leisure and education activities, heritage and events. Increasing parking charges at this time by between 5% and 10% is necessary to meet increasing running costs and continue to make important improvements to the Park.

As a result of visitor parking payments over the last year, we have been able to continue to develop our calendar of events, make improvements to our play areas and carry out important forestry work, among many other projects.

The tariff increase will see visitors paying just an additional 20p on a stay of up to 2 hours or an additional 30p for a stay of over four hours. Our annual parking memberships will also be increasing at all our car parks but they still offer amazing value, with the Ferry Meadows car park membership working out at just £1.78 a week.

Full details of the tariff changes can be found below and can also be found on the parking pages of our website.
