This carpark is a savior for those who live nearby. Tsing Yi, to those who don't know it, has an…read moreacute shortage of parking spaces- especially for those who live above the station. Back in the day and for a short time I was the proud owner of two cars- or I should say I bought one before I could sell the old one. Though I was on verge of selling the old one, that still meant that I had to live with two cars and one parking space for about a week. This meant I had to find somewhere to park quick. The Tsing Yi Sportsground proved to be a savior. The parking rates here are relatively cheap- 12 HKD./ hr normally and overnight parking is 60 HKD which I find to be very fair. What you get is a huge open air carpark that is well lit, well patrolled and the only drawback would be the fact that it is open ground. You can't have it all as they say. You will find that a lot of people actually park here instead when they go to maritime Square as that place is constantly jammed up and the queues back up for a mile and parking here makes no difference at all. It takes no time to get to the mall. As with all public sports ground, you would not be advised to park here for prolonged periods of time as the charges are incremental and eventually you may be better off just parking in the mall or station carpark anyways. However, if they ever did a monthly deal I'm sure the spaces will be taken up in no time. Of course, we keep forgetting that this carpark is actually here to cater for the sports ground users and it so happens that many people live near it. Best value? Yes Long Term Parking? No. Anything else? Ask the attendant.

If you are driving to Tsuen Wan and you have plenty of time to spare; I would definitely recommend…read moreparking here. With numerous new malls springing up around in Tsuen Wan parking has become an increasingly frustrating matter as parking lots at the mall never tend to be enough to cater for shoppers who come to visit. Lo Tak Circuit comes from the early days of town planning when public parking spaces were still a big part of city planning, hence you will find this odd opening in the middle of town for a parking lot. Most of the spaces are for private cars and much of the meters are 2-hour meters which is much better if you intend to do a bit of shopping. There are some 30 minutes meters on one side too which makes for better turnaround times as people never seem to stay long on those. Beware- don't park at the other end of the carpark where all the trucks are- because they are limited for trucks only and they will block you in if you decide to take your chances. As with anywhere in Hong Kong, it will take patience and some aggressive maneuvers to get the space you want but with such a large number of spaces it shouldn't be too difficult. In the morning most of the spaces are taken up by taxis and contrary to public perception the place gets busier towards midnight when people leave their cars overnight. So get there well early and expect to wait. This is Hong Kong so I guess you know already.
