If anyone know of a safe car park in Manchester please let me know.

Is the Manchester Evening News Arena car park any good?

I think the MEN arena car park is as good as any in that area. That's where i park when i'm at the arena.

Dont worry about parking................... worry about getting out alive

I always find parking in the heart of "Gay Village" works a treat for the obvious reasons, and BTW this is a serious statement Also, the MEN parking is ridiculously tight, especially the ramps to the next levels, hated it with our old fester so would probably be a nightmare with a 4 door saloon.

ive been a few times and park in a place directly oppisite the arena bout 150yds down a road to the left ,it has gaurds on the gate and has always been ok

We always use MEN, but Craft is right, it is tight. I once clobbered my back alloy badly on the way out through the gates - didnt see the 1ft high curb

Thanx everyone the car park recommended by Terzo sounds good, anyone else used it before?

Also if I do go for the MEN car park, does anyone know if it has security guards and/or cameras?

If you are going to a concert be very wary of all the MEN parking signs directing you to other (dodgy) car parks.

A friend who we meet there parked under a railway bridge round the corner and when he got back to his car a window had been smashed and his cd's and golf clubs from the boot had been stolen, he saw 6 other cars in that car park with broken windows as well.

I parked in the MEN car park it was a nightmare to get out of afterwards (traffic). but didnt have any problems it is well lit and patrolled by security guards. when we left there was a bevy of policemen directing traffic and "doing" people who had been drinking.

I wouldnt go anywhere else but the MEN car park park in a well visible area (by the doors ect). and get somewhere to see you by the kerbs ect.

The MEN carpark is safe but it will take you hours to get out if your going to see someone at the MEN! There are loads of NCP carpark which are safe.

I use them all the time.

If you want good directions mail me.

Thats a load of rubbish. I had a car broken in at an NCP car park after paying approx £15 to park overnight. I was told it was guarded 24 hours except I think NCP think that there are 25 hours in a day.

I wouldn't park it in Manchester ever. Look at it this way the excess you would pay should it get knicked or broken into would pay for alternative transport
