    Parking at Livi

    I normally take the train to Livingston, but circumstances mean I’m driving through tomorrow. I really don’t fancy being stuck in the stadium car park for ages after the game. Does anyone have any suggestions for street parking around the Tony Macaroni Arena for parking? Thanks in advance!

    It's 50p an hour at the multi storey just up by Macarthur Glen. Shouldn't cost you any more than £2.

    Didn’t realise you could park there without being a customer! Cheers.

    Just park in The Terrace car park (accessed off the roundabout in the Boulevard near Asda). Normally barrier controlled during he week for West Lothian Council, but barriers are up at the weekends. Easy walk over the bridge from there.

    You have to purchase a ticket from the machine and pay to get out. Shopping not a requirement.
    Pay station however is in the shopping centre, not the cark Park itself.

    The Terrace is the place I go if I don't walk down.

    Usually park at the offices at Quarrywood Court, 5-10 minute walk to the ground and brings you in at the opposite side of the shopping centre which I find a bit quieter.

    No the old council car park on the other side of that road.. Entry is not obvious. At the roundabout where you'd turn left to go to ASDA, go right and the entrance is quite quick on the left. Stay left. There's two levels, the second only becomes apparent at the far end where you go right for the route out of the cark park. Usually loads of spaces in that bottom bit.
    The one you describe us the most expensive - or was. I never use it

    Park in asda. Do it all the time and never get a ticket. Not even sure the ticket machines are in use, even if they are if you go in and spend a fiver parking is free.

    Second this - easier, free, quieter and close to the main road making getting away a skoosh.
    Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

    You can't see it while driving. It's below the level of the road. Built into to gully down to the Almond.

    Not the case anymore, in the multi storey they scan your motors reg and you can pay at the barrier as you leave now
