To park or not to park — that is the impossible question.

Baker Street, Stirling - A rough guide about on-street parking via the RingGo app

The multi-storey at Wellgreen Car Park.

On-street parking (RingGo) Subject to Availability

    •    The council’s “Parking in Stirling” page confirms that cashless payment by RingGo is available for all council car parks and many roadside/town-centre bays.
    •    Specifically for roadside parking in Stirling city centre:
• Zone A (which includes Baker Street) – 30 minutes = £0.90.
• Charge times apply Mondays–Saturdays between 08:45 and 17:00.
    •    How to use RingGo:
    1.    Download the RingGo app, select the location code on the parking sign.
    2.    Enter your vehicle registration, duration, pay via card.
    3.    You can extend the session using the app if permitted (but check if allowed for that location).
    •    Important: While RingGo works for most council car parks, it is excluded at the Wellgreen Car Park site.
    •    Tip: For short visits (shopping, dropping off) on Baker Street or nearby, on-street parking via RingGo is convenient. Longer parking or full day stays might benefit from a dedicated car park.

Summary Recommendations

• Short stay / quick stop: Use on-street parking via RingGo in the Baker Street zone (Zone A) – convenient, app-based, easy.
• Longer stay / full day / car + push-chair: Use Wellgreen Car Park – flat walk to your flat, central location, reasonable all-day rate, good option when you plan to leave the car a while.
