Park Corner Car Park

Park Corner is a very small Cornwall Council car park at TR18 2QP, and its official status is more specialised than the name may suggest. The council lists only four spaces and describes it as long-stay parking for reserved-permit holders, so it should not be treated as a general visitor car park for a day in Penzance. Drivers arriving without the relevant permit should choose another public car park rather than assuming a pay-and-display space will be available.

The site is open 24 hours and permits cars and motorcycles up to a stated weight limit of 3,050kg. It has a bitmac surface and no height barrier, but it is not a secure car park and provides no coach, motorhome, caravan or trailer facilities. Overnight sleeping and camping are not permitted. Those restrictions make Park Corner potentially useful for a small number of regular local users, but unsuitable for most holiday traffic and larger vehicles.

Reserved spaces are leased annually through Cornwall Council, with permits lasting twelve months and no shorter reservation period offered. Anyone considering the location for regular parking should therefore check current availability and permit conditions with the council before travelling. Visitors heading into Penzance should compare nearby council options such as Penalverne, Clarence Street, Greenmarket, St Erbyns or Wherrytown, choosing by destination and length of stay rather than relying on Park Corner as a fallback.
