Book private parking in Paddepoel-Zuid with Mobypark

Mobypark gives you a practical alternative to circling for street spaces: you can reserve bookable private parking spots owned by people who don’t use them all the time (think hotel/office parking, unused garage spaces, and private driveways). If you expect to be out longer than a short shopping stop, pre-booking can be more predictable than paid street parking (which is commonly priced per hour in the municipal zones around Paddepoel).

To get the best match, open the search bar and enter Paddepoel-Zuid plus your dates—then compare reserved private spots against the options below.

Street parking in Paddepoel-Zuid: paid zones, times, and payment

In Groningen, street parking is managed by parking areas. In the municipal areas that include Paddepoel, the posted street rate is typically €4,50 per hour with specific daily time windows (for example, limited Sunday hours).

Before you park, check the 4-digit area code on the blue light panel of the parking machine—apps can sometimes auto-select the wrong zone, so it’s worth verifying. You can pay with a parking app, or at the machine using Maestro/V-Pay or Visa/Mastercard (no cash).

If you’re worried about racking up hourly costs in a paid zone, reserving a private spot on Mobypark can help you avoid the “time-pressure” of feeding the meter.

Parking at Winkelcentrum Paddepoel (P1 & P2): free 1.5 hours, then paid

For many drivers, the easiest public option starts at Winkelcentrum Paddepoel. On the P1 and P2 parking grounds, you can park 1.5 hour FREE daily. After that, you pay the posted rates. Around the shopping centre, street parking is paid from Monday to Saturday, which is why timing matters.

• Free window: 1.5 hours on P1 & P2 (daily)
• After free time: pay the displayed tariffs
• Evening access: P1 & P2 are closed 22:00–07:00

If your visit runs past the free 1.5-hour window—or you’re arriving later when these car parks close—compare the situation with Mobypark, where you can book a private spot in advance instead of gambling on availability.

Parking buildings near Paddepoel: opening hours and hourly billing

Near Winkelcentrum Paddepoel (Eikenlaan area), there’s also a parking building that follows strict opening/closing times: open Monday–Friday 06:00–22:00, Saturday 06:00–18:00, and closed on Sunday. The first 1.5 hours are free, then pricing is per additional hour (or part of an hour), with a higher daily cap for 24-hour parking.

When you need parking on days/times when some garages close (like Sunday), or you want to avoid checking last opening times, Mobypark’s bookable private spots (including unused garage spaces and driveways) can be a more reliable fallback.

Quick checklist for choosing the right option in Paddepoel-Zuid
