Description
Cork City Park by Phone is a new and improved way to pay for parking in Cork City. Cork City Council, in conjunction with our partners ParkMagic, has built on our existing Pay by Phone Service to ensure we continue to provide a convenient way to pay for parking for shoppers and visitors to our city.

Ratings and Reviews
Good concept, poorly executed.
I’m glad this app has been developed but there are a lot of areas this could improve.
- multiple (saved) cars
- language (credit account, would be clearer if it just said ‘pay’)
- a top up processing fee is very dated and will possibly lead to me not using the app
- a 20c fee for a reminder of when your parking expires is outrageous - this should be free and should be a push notification from the app
- branding should be under the cork city council umbrella, it’s just inconsistent and confusing
- some sort of perk for using the app could improve adoption. I.e park 5 times get a 6th time free or 15 min free parking.
- topping up is outdated too, a metered billing option would be much nicer. I.e. park 6 times in a month, get billed €12 that month, park is 20 times, get billed €40. This would also reduce your payment processing costs as you would be bundling parking fees into on transaction a month.
I really hope you take some of this feedback on board. Best of luck with future development.
Feels Like a Scam
I have never written a review before, but I feel it’s necessary to share my experience to help others avoid this app. I feel completely scammed, and I don’t understand how the city council allows this.
First, they charge a €1 fee every time you top up your account. Additionally, they charge €0.20 for receiving a reminder message, which they could easily do for free within the app. You can’t select the parking duration by hours: if you need to park for 1 hour, they force you to pay for 2 hours.
Honestly, you guys can do better. We already pay enough taxes to deserve better service. Visually and in terms of branding, the app is a disappointment. It feels insecure and looks like it was made by scammers.
Not a choice for Cork visitors
I just tried to jump through the hoops to pay for parking in a random location. I just wanted to eat in a cafe. No parking meters around so I tried the app. Went through multiple steps to try and pay but then I cannot pay directly with a card. I have to top up to be able to pay and the process involves a fee. Not to mention that you have to be careful when selecting your parking place in a map.
Good luck with tourists!
