Dubai: Parkin introduces new paid parking zones at Academic City, Sports City

Dubai continues to enhance its public parking infrastructure with the introduction of new paid parking zones in Dubai International Academic City and Dubai Sports City. This move follows the recent launch of similar zones in Dubai Studio City and Outsource City, signaling the city’s commitment to addressing parking challenges in high-traffic areas. The new zones, managed by Parkin, Dubai’s leading provider of paid public parking facilities, will operate under distinct tariff codes: Code F for Academic City and Code S for Sports City. Clear signage has been installed in both locations to guide motorists. Tariffs vary by zone, with Academic City offering rates starting at Dh2 for half an hour, while Sports City begins at Dh2 for one hour. Parkin has also introduced subscription packages for both zones, providing long-term parking solutions for residents and visitors. In addition to these developments, Parkin has announced plans to construct five multi-story car parking buildings over the next two years to alleviate congestion in Dubai’s busiest commercial districts. Currently, Parkin operates 3,651 parking spaces across seven multi-storey car parks in key areas such as Oud Metha, Al Jaffiliya, and Al Satwa. These initiatives underscore Dubai’s proactive approach to urban planning and infrastructure development.
