Parking De Onlanden, Mijmerbank, Groningen

parking De Onlanden, Mijmerbank is mainly about making it easy to start your visit with the car already handled. At the moment, Mobypark has no bookable spots for this exact destination, so the guide below focuses on public parking options you can rely on—while you can still check Mobypark later for any future availability using your travel dates.

Park & Ride (P+R) for easier arrival when you’re coming via Groningen

If you’re driving in from the Groningen side, P+R is often the most straightforward way to avoid hunting for a street space. Groningen has 5 P+R lots on the outskirts: Haren, Kardinge, Reitdiep, Hoogkerk and Meerstad.

P+R parking is free of charge; the bus fare is €6 for a maximum of 5 persons (including a return ticket on the same day). For bus times and tickets, follow the local public-transport guidance and allow extra time for connections.

On-street parking in Groningen: pay-per-hour zones and opening hours

Inside the city and in surrounding districts, on-street spaces work with a paid parking system and are signposted. You can park for short stays in the designated spaces, but you should always follow the signage and meter instructions.

• Rates: €5 or €4.50 per hour (as shown by local parking info/machines)
• When you pay: Monday through Saturday 09:00–24:00; Sundays and public holidays 12:00–17:00
• How to pay: at the parking machines; cards are accepted (V-pay/Maestro, Visa or MasterCard)
• No charges: New Year’s Day, Easter Sunday, Whit Sunday and Christmas Day

Because these hours can be limiting, it’s smart to check your timing—and if public parking isn’t lining up with your plan, you can also check Mobypark for any future private options for your exact dates. If you need disabled parking, paid areas in Groningen require displaying a disabled parking permit, and in blue zones you also use a parking disc.

Use car parks when you want a longer, calmer parking plan

If you expect to stay longer during your day at/around De Onlanden and Mijmerbank, consider a car park (parking garage) rather than trying to rely on street spaces. Car parks are typically easier to manage for longer stays—follow the signage for entry/exit and pay attention to opening times and whether payment is handled at the machines or at the barrier.

Plan for access changes during extreme weather (water-storage activation)

De Onlanden can shift into a water-storage mode during extreme weather. During activation, access for walkers and cyclists is limited, and in wetter periods (especially between November and February) some paths may be (partly) flooded and temporarily closed for a few days, with alternative routes provided. When the weather forecast looks heavy, build in extra buffer time and rely on the signage at the area entrances—parking that works “on a normal day” may be less practical when routes are closed.
