Important information
Location map

Directions

Oxford Parkway Park and Ride (previously known as Water Eaton Park and Ride) is north of Oxford, accessible from the A40 (from Witney and Cheltenham), A4260 (from Kidlington), A34 (from Banbury, Bicester and Northampton) and the M40.

The car park closest to the train station is not a park and ride site and is for Oxford Parkway Station customers (see APCOA Parking at Oxford Parkway Station).

Additional information
All Park and Ride sites are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Vehicles can be left overnight. Maximum stay 72 hours.

Our parking ticket machines do not dispense change. A ticket can be purchased for a higher value but no refunds can be given.

Alternatively you can use our telephone payment system if you have a valid debit or credit card.

English national concessionary bus passes for over 60s and disabled people are accepted on Park and Ride buses.

Oxford Parkway Park and Ride offers a small dedicated area for high-sided vehicles. Access to the dedicated area is separate to the main car park entrance. Unfortunately, you are not able to use the site for sleeping, camping or cooking. However, due to the limited number of spaces available at Oxford Parkway, we recommend using the much larger parking area at Redbridge Coach and Lorry Park.
Height Restrictions
2.1 metres (6ft 11 inches) height restriction at main entrance for cars. All cars must use the main entrance. There is a separate entrance with no height restriction for coaches, lorries, motor homes and other high-sided vehicles.
