Q-Park UK expands safe parking in Sheffield

Parking provider Q-Park UK joins forces to open a brand new multi-storey parking facility with The University of Sheffield and Sheffield Children’s Hospital. Parking around the area has been a frustration for all Hospital and University visitors for many years and the introduction of Q-Park Durham Road has been well received by all visitors including local residents.

Thankfully the new management agreement with Q-Park was agreed to resolve the situation last year. Q-Park has been working with experienced construction company The Simons Group to build the multi-storey facility. Now completed, Q-Park Durham Road provides 560 parking spaces, a retail unit and space designated for the University.

The new car park was officially opened on 7th March and is the latest addition to Q-Park’s Sheffield portfolio bringing quality parking to the local community.

Q-Park Durham Road is conveniently located just outside of the city centre ring road. Customers can safely walk to The University of Sheffield and Sheffield Children’s Hospital with ample disabled, parent and toddler parking across 8 levels.

It was especially important to Q-Park to design an easy access, secure, friendly parking environment with appropriate facilities to assist visitors. Convenient facilities such as lift access and designated parent and toddler parking bays have been included to provide quality customer service.

Customers can also look forward to bright interiors, onsite Host lodge and 24 hour CCTV security systems. Q-Park pre-booking will be available to allow customers to book parking in advance online or through the new mobile app, Q-Park Rewards. The latest innovative app that combines parking, navigation and retailer discounts in one place making life easier on the move.
