UPark At Central Market

I was gone for 21 minutes and we pay $ 6 for a carpark. No wonder why people try to avoid this place, I’m not from Adelaide so was unaware, Absolute joke parking…

The central market upark is owned by the Adelaide City Council and located above the markets with two entry points from Gouger Street and Grote Street.
This carpark is very large, covering the top of the entire markets. It is two level and kind of like a maze. You really need to keep note of where you parked your car. I have forgotten where I have parked my car a couple of times after rushing into the markets.
This car park is the busiest Friday nights and Saturday morning. Often with a line up to get into it on the Gouger Street side. My tip is to go into the markets from the Grote Street side, the traffic seems to flow a little better on that side. I think it has something to do with the pedestrian lights on Gouger Street. Also note that you may have to wait to enter the car park on the Friday night as it is always super busy!
This carpark is priced averagely, but it does offer some flat rates in the afternoons. But there is no early bird specials. I would recommend only to use it if you are shopping. It is not a good carpark for extended hours.
Flat rates are:
Monday to Thursday after 6.00pm
Friday after 9.30pm
Saturday after 5.00pm
Sunday all day
Also, take note that during the summer months it is super hot in there. I think in result of the roofing. But, if you are doing your shopping make sure you don’t leave food in the car.

Yeah! U-​Park!
I’m not normally this excited about carparks, but I *do* really like this one. I think it’s the proximity to all of the delicious Asian food I am about to eat that gives me the happy vibes.
But I also get happy vibes from the cost. You’re looking at $ 2.20 for the first hour and realllllllyyyyy cheap after that. So good.
And, most importantly., you have immediate access to both the Central Markets, Chinatown and food courts. You can walk the stairs or catch the lifts directly into the Market then it’s salad days my friends!

One of my favourite car parks in Adelaide, well, lets just say more preferential.
It is huge and incredibly cheap to park in, as stated in previous reviews.
I’ll just add one downfall to this car park, and that is that is a bit of a rabbit warren.
It is multilevel but the floors are not parallel or even above one another.
It can be a bit frustrating to navigate, but it’s worth it for the cheap price and access to some of the best food Adelaide has to offer.

U park is one of the more affordable car parks and this one on grote st is one of the more affordable of the franchise. Convenient to the markets, bus station and Victoria square.
