Parking at Westfield Marion in Oaklands Park is free for your whole shopping day. The centre says no parking charges apply, and that, unless a sign says otherwise, parking near the centre has a 5-hour limit, with shorter limits close to entrances. There are 11 entry and exit points off Diagonal Road, Sturt Road and Morphett Road, and the bus interchange is on the Sturt Road side of the centre.

This guide follows the centre’s parking page, getting here page, accessibility page and opening hours page, all read on 8 November 2026. We say where the pages do not answer a question.

Is parking free at Westfield Marion?

Yes. The centre says it offers complimentary parking for your entire day of shopping, with no parking charges. It also says Westfield Marion car parks are patrolled by parking inspectors from the City of Marion Council, and that revenue from parking infringements goes to the council. So the car park is free, but it is not unmonitored: stay within the time on the sign for the spot you choose.

Where Time limit the centre gives
Most parking near the centre 5 hours, unless a sign says otherwise
Spaces very close to entrances Normally shorter; from 15 minutes (near banks) to 90 minutes (near fresh food)
