Do you have parking available?

Yes, there is parking available every day, and parking is free. Disabled bays are also available.

There are several parking options nearby, all available on a first‑come, first‑served basis:
 

Main car parks

  • Lido car park (168 spaces) – for visitors to Aldershot Pools and Lido.
  • Aldershot Park car park (130 spaces) – also used by visitors to the park and playground. This car park can be busier when cricket, rugby or football matches are taking place in the park.


On‑street parking

  • There are a number of streets near the lido where visitors can park.
  • On busy days, a high volume of vehicles visit the area, and inconsiderate parking can be an issue. Please park responsibly.

On‑street parking is managed by Hampshire County Council, with enforcement carried out by their contractor, NSL. Residents should report on‑street parking issues to parking.services@hants.gov.uk.


Overflow parking (busy days only)
 

Overflow parking is opened on particularly busy days.

  • Lido car park overflow (up to 100 spaces) – located at the rear of the lido grounds and accessed via the gate at the far left of the main lido car park. This is the first overflow option to open on busy days.
  • Aldershot Park overflow (60–100 spaces) – typically accommodates around 60 vehicles. If the ground is dry and no cricket is being played, capacity may increase to up to 100 spaces on certain days.
