Parcio Eryri – Parking Snowdonia
The Parcio Eryri – Parking Snowdonia app helps you find available parking in the north of Snowdonia National Park. Using real-time data and sensors, the app will direct you to the most convenient parking around the most popular areas of the Park.
To find available parking, open the app to reveal the map. The coloured icons (red, green, and amber) indicate the number of car parks which are available.
Tapping a map icon will give you more information about the parking arrangements in that area. This includes hours of operation, time limits, parking fees, and other restrictions, if applicable.
Note: There are several car parks available throughout the National Park. Some are under private management and some are under the management of other public organizations. Only car parks managed by Snowdonia National Park Authority are shown below.
