Sligo Town

Is there anywhere in Sligo town itself to park for a night, I normally use Rosses Point but wondering if there's anywhere in the town that's safe for a night... Any help would be great thanks...

Hey there, we stayed in Sligo last weekend in fact. We took a chance and parked in the retail park on the right as you're going into town-Smyths/Electrocity/McDonalds all there. Its about a 20 minute walk into town. It has no height barrier but does have security gates which are locked at night. I don't think they were too pleased we were there as thankfully we weren't clamped but there was a note left on the window the next morning asking that we would "refrain from parking overnight in the future". Which is fair enough, but neither Rosses Point or Strandhill campsites were open yet. We had been sussing out other options in town itself on google maps but as it was late when we arrived we didn't have much time to spare to drive about as we were going to a gig, but had come across parking at the cathedral in town. It appeared to be spacious and had an exit fee of €2 or €3, the entrance might require some cautious manoeuvring but should be ok! We had also spotted a car park on Wine Street (easy remember) if you wanted to look those up.
There's definitely a need in the town for proper camping/areas to park up.

Does anyone else have experience of parking ( for shopping!) in Sligo town? We hope to visit Strandhill over the Easter holidays and it would be great to know of a car park or on street parking in Sligo town suitable for a motorhome!

I have parked on the street, pay and display metering, on Markievicz Road, along the side of the river. Less than 5 min walk to the town centre.

You could try Sligo Regional Sports center at Cleveragh, Sligo .about 2k out near the racecourse
Quote from their own website.
Sligo Regional Sports Center offers facilities to suit all the family’s recreational and leisure needs,
including a 25 meter indoor heated pool and kids pool, Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room.

So maybe they might include overnight parking

I have no experience overnighting in Sligo town but there are plenty of open car parks down ballast quay.
The blue lagoon down Riverside has a large open car park facing the river. Both are easy walks into the town. I'll ask around and see can I get any info.

There's a truck stop in collooney (10 mins out) called Sligo junction/hotrods where trucks overnight and 20 mins away in aughris there's a pub/restaurant called the beach bar with ehu.
No one seems to know anywhere that allows mh overnighting. If it was me I would head to lidl cranmore and park there. It's a huge carpark which is never near full.
Or cleveragh, which is on the river and has a number of industrial estates.

Are you working in the town?
