Where to park in Hardenberg
Hardenberg keeps it clear: throughout the centre the same hourly rate applies, whether you stand on the street or behind a barrier. Digital signs on the approach roads point you to the nearest site and show how many spaces are free. The four large places are the Centrum/Gemeentehuis and Centrum/LOC car parks, the Van Wevelinckhovenplein parking deck and the Centrum/Theater site on Gedempte Haven.
The smartest choice for a short visit is the car park at the town hall: the first three consecutive hours are free there, and only then does the meter start running. On Saturday the same scheme applies in the car park at the LOC. If you stay longer, the day ticket is the ceiling. If you want to pay nothing at all, you leave the car at the fire station on Europaweg and walk in a quarter of an hour to the centre.
Blue zones, Stop&Shop and permits
Around the paid centre sit permit zones B to E, where you may not stand as a visitor. There are also blue zones: in the Heemsermars district, on parts of Europaweg and Bruchterweg, and in Dedemsvaart centre. There you park for two hours for free with a parking disc, in Hardenberg on Thursday until 21.00 and in Dedemsvaart on Friday until 21.00.
At the shops on Europaweg and on Bruchterweg there are also two Stop&Shop zones: there you stand for at most half an hour, also with the disc. Outside paid hours, on Sunday and on public holidays you park for free in the centre. Do note that a disabled parking badge does not exempt you from paying in Hardenberg.
Paying and enforcement
Behind the barrier you pay afterwards at the meter, by debit card, cash or via an app. On the street you enter your licence plate in advance at the meter; cash is not possible there. The gates of the Centrum/Gemeentehuis and Centrum/LOC car parks and the upper deck of Van Wevelinckhovenplein close at night, but you can always exit.
With SimplePark you start your session as soon as you stop and you stop it when you drive away. You pay by the minute, which works well here: the municipality also bills by the minute, so you never have to buy a full hour for a ten-minute shop.
