Parking Stedelijk Natuurreservaat Bourgoyen-Ossemeersen, Ghent

Reserve private parking near Bourgoyen-Ossemeersen with Mobypark

Searching for parking Stedelijk Natuurreservaat Bourgoyen-Ossemeersen in Gent? The easiest way to avoid street-finding stress is to pre-book a parking spot before you arrive. With Mobypark, you can book private parking spaces that owners don’t actively use (for example: hotel parking, office building spots, private driveways, or unused garage spaces). Set your dates in the search bar and compare options so you know you’ll have somewhere to park when you reach Driepikkelstraat.

Use the main entrance parking at Driepikkelstraat 32

The city’s guidance for Bourgoyen-Ossemeersen points to a (large) parking area at the main entrance on Driepikkelstraat 32, which is typically the most straightforward starting point for a walk or bike ride toward the reserve. Because the reserve has a limited access window, plan your arrival for daylight and follow any on-site rules and signage for duration.

Try P+R Bourgoyen for free parking (and avoid LEZ worries)

If you prefer a simpler and often quicker approach, P+R Bourgoyen is listed as free parking with electric charging and 255 places. It’s also described as outside the low-emission zone (LEZ), which can matter for some drivers. Since it’s free, it may fill up in busy periods—if you want guaranteed availability, booking a reserved private spot on Mobypark can be a practical alternative to relying on last-minute space on P+R.

Street parking near the reserve: pay-by-zone + day/night limitations

In Ghent, on-street parking is generally handled with paid parking zones (commonly shown as orange/red areas) and usually includes a short free window before hourly tariffs apply (for example, around €1.8–€3 per hour depending on the zone/time). Instead of guessing where the zone boundary starts or worrying about the clock, you can compare with Mobypark to secure a pre-booked spot—often working out significantly cheaper than paying hourly on-street (in some cases, up to 60% depending on how long you park).

Also note late-arrival constraints: local reports describe night parking restrictions around the Bourgoyen area (notably a ban in the evening/night window on a nearby sports-hall parking location). If you’re arriving late, check posted signs and avoid assuming you can park overnight—Mobypark is useful when you want to plan around access and restrictions rather than depend on street availability.

Quick checklist to choose the right option for your visit

• Arrive within the reserve access hours so you don’t need to plan overnight parking.
• If you want free parking, consider P+R Bourgoyen—but be ready to switch plans if it’s full (reserved parking on Mobypark removes that uncertainty).
• If you’re parking for a short stop, check the street zone rules carefully; hourly tariffs can add up fast.
• If you’re driving with EV needs, look for charging availability where offered.
