Parking in Dungannon

Dungannon sits on a hill in County Tyrone, and its town centre is compact but busy, especially on market days and Saturdays. Most short stays are handled by council pay-and-display and free car parks around Scotch Street, Market Square and Anne Street, while larger shops cluster at the Oaks Centre and the retail parks on the edge of town. On-street parking is available on streets like Scotch Street and Irish Street, but spaces fill quickly during the working day and around school run times.

If you want easy, longer stays, the car parks at the lower end of town near the Hill of The O'Neill and Ranfurly House tend to be quieter than the square itself, and the out-of-town retail parks off the A29 and near the M1 (junctions 15 and 16) offer plenty of free spaces for shopping. For something different, The Linen Green at Moygashel just south of town has free customer parking. ParkEasy is free and community-powered, so drivers share live tips on which spaces are open, where it is genuinely free, and which spots to avoid at busy times.

Dungannon parking FAQs

Is there free parking in Dungannon?

Yes. Several council car parks around the town centre offer free or low-cost short stays, and the larger retail parks on the outskirts (off the A29 and near the M1 junctions) have free customer spaces. The Linen Green at Moygashel and the out-of-town retail areas are reliable for free longer stays. On-street bays in the centre are mostly limited-waiting, so always check the signs.

Do I have to pay for parking on Sundays and in the evenings?

Council pay-and-display charges in Dungannon generally apply during normal daytime hours on weekdays and Saturdays, with parking typically free on Sundays and in the evenings. Times vary between car parks, so read the tariff board before you leave the car, particularly near Market Square and Scotch Street.

Where should I avoid parking in Dungannon on a busy day?

Market Square and the streets right around it (Scotch Street, Irish Street, Anne Street) get congested on Saturdays and market days, and limited-waiting bays there are easy to overstay. If the centre is full, head for the quieter car parks down towards the Hill of The O'Neill or use the edge-of-town retail parks and walk in.
