Parking is free on Sundays and public holidays. SimplePark knows all 11 parking zones of Valkenswaard: start your parking action in the app and stop it when you leave. Free parking is available at Carillonplein. In Carillonplein, the part laid out as a blue zone you can stay up to 120 minutes with a parking disc. The rates come from the municipality and were checked on September 7, 2026. With SimplePark you start and stop the parking action in the app. We charge €0.29 per parking action and €0.29 per top-up or direct debit.
The first hour is deliberately cheap
Valkenswaard uses a rising rate that encourages short shopping trips. The first hour costs € 0.60, and only the hour after that jumps to € 1.70. Anyone doing a quick errand therefore gets off cheaply; if you stay the whole afternoon, you are better off with the day ticket of € 7.50. The rates apply both on-street and on the car parks in and around the city center, and are also shown on the meter.
Two spots fall outside that scheme: on Deken Mandersplein and Kerverijplein you may stay a maximum of 4 hours and no day ticket is for sale. The intention there is clear: those spots are for visitors, not for long-stay parkers.
When you have to pay
Paid parking runs from Monday to Saturday between 9:00 and 18:00. On Sunday and on the public holidays that the municipality publishes each year, from New Year's Day and Good Friday to Christmas Day and Boxing Day, you park free in all streets and on all sites. The parking meters show the hours again, because they can differ slightly per location.
If you want to pay nothing at all, that is also possible on weekdays. Carillonplein, Kloosterplein, the corner of Emmalaan-Maastrichterweg and Kerkhofstraat are free car parks. Part of Carillonplein is laid out as a blue zone: there you put a parking disc behind your windscreen and stay a maximum of 2 hours.
Zone codes and paying with your phone
At the meter you pay cash or with a debit card. If you would rather not walk to the meter, phone parking works everywhere in Valkenswaard; the zone code your app needs is on the meter itself. With SimplePark you start the parking action as soon as you have parked and stop it when you drive off, and you pay for the time you were parked, in the unit the municipality bills in. With a rate that almost triples after the first hour, it helps that you do not have to estimate in advance how long you will stay.
