There are plenty of places to park for free in Bangor. If you get lucky you can park on high street, main street, Queen's Parade, Quay Street and many, many more. Even in the Asda car park you can park for free if you spend more than £5 in store or if you have the balls not to pay and just hope you don't get a ticket.
Despite this there is a pretty popular car park at the Flagship centre in the centre of town that you have to pay for. Its pretty well guarded and not too pricey but I just don't see why you would be going here unless you were a little bit lazy and didn't want to carry your shopping the extra 100yards.
As others have said pedestrians can just walk about in here so you may worry about the security of it all but I've never heard of any problems here. The prices aren't bad either, with free parking nights during the week. read more
