Car Parks offering Free Parking:<\/h2>\r\n

Few places in Singapore are greater than Mustafa Centre. If you're willing to brave the crowds (especially on weekends), you'll find yourself in bargain heaven in no time.\r\n

2)\u00a0Dempsey Hill<\/h3>\r\n

Enjoy a scrumptious meal in this quaint area whilst not having to worry about clocking up those parking charges! Especially when Dempsey is known to be highly inaccessible without a car, the least they could do is provide you with free parking.\r\n

3)\u00a0IKEA (Tampines)<\/h3>\r\n

If you're planning a trip to IKEA, you definitely some sort of vehicle transport. Lucky for you, IKEA Tampines provides free parking so that you don't have to feel guilty about leaving your car for hours while you slowly browse through their catalogue.\r\n\r\n(Disclaimer<\/b>: Parking rates are exclusive<\/span> to the Tampines branch and do not apply to the Alexandra branch. Being more centrally located requires you to spend money in exchange for free parking hours.)\r\n

4) West Coast Park (Car Park 2 & 3)<\/h3>\r\n

Load all those toys and picnic essentials in your car before heading out to West Coast Park on a sunny day. Don't forget that free parking charges only apply to car parks 2 & 3!\r\n

5)\u00a0The Grandstand<\/h3>\r\n
\"\"

Mainly accessible by car or taxi, you would be pleased to know that The Grandstand offers free parking throughout the week for those looking to wine and dine here.\r\n

6)\u00a0East Coast Park (Car Parks B, C, D, F, G and H)<\/h3>\r\n
\"\"

We haven't forgotten about you. For families living in the East, obviously, it wouldn't make sense to travel all the way to the West for a day out with your family. To prevent any park from having the upper hand, East Coast Park also offers free parking at their selected car parks. Anyway, we all know which park has the better (sea) views!\r\n

7)\u00a0IMM<\/h3>\r\n
\"\"

Better than nothing! You'll be able to enjoy a hearty meal and even do some grocery shopping before heading out of the building.\r\n

8) Gillman Barracks<\/h3>\r\n
\"\"
Source: https:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3732\/11930897514_28832c5298_b.jpg<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\nIf you're looking to hike the Henderson Waves or enjoy a hearty meal at this artsy location, be sure to park your vehicle here before you embark on your adventures. We're sure your feet will be tired after a whole day of hiking, and there's no better feeling\u00a0than knowing that you have a\u00a0vehicle at your disposal. Gillman Barracks is also home to\u00a0many restaurants, from famous ice-cream and waffles eatery\u00a0Creamier to the newest Timbre @ Gillman - you're definitely in for a treat.\r\n

9)\u00a0Mount Faber Park<\/h3>\r\n
\"\"
Source: http:\/\/www.littledayout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/articles\/2017\/06-June\/20170605-MountFaber\/e00a-FaberPeak.jpg<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\nFeeling adventurous or finally looking to stretch your legs after a long week in office? You'll be pleased to know that the carpark at Mount Faber is free all day and week so you can bring your whole family or group of friends here for an adventure-filled time. Remember to pack your sunblock!\r\n

There is also a maximum charge capped at $10.00 applicable only on weekends. Although shopping choices are\u00a0limited<\/em> in this mall, you'll be spoilt for choice by the number of restaurants there.\r\n

12)\u00a0Big Splash<\/h3>\r\n
\"\"

For now, enjoy the free parking available and head down to Seafood International,\u00a0the 500-seat restaurant - which has been operating at the location since 1983 - that will\u00a0run a Thai-themed a la carte lunch buffet promotion until its closure.\r\n
