Pre-booking Monthly and Daily Parking in Footscray
Fun fact about Footscray, did you know it was voted 2019’s coolest neighborhood in Melbourne? We recently did a survey and as it turns out, most people still think Footscray is pretty cool. In fact, the only real gripe Melbournians seem to have with it revolves around parking!
When asked what Melbournians hate the most about driving, the most common answer was ‘sitting in traffic jams’. And many locals unfortunately have to face this regularly. While 88% of Melbournians drive daily, at least 50% of them spend over 5 minutes searching for a suitable parking spot. Additionally, it seems that only 37% of Melbournians aren’t too phased by having to search for parking. That leaves 63% of frustrated parkers! At Parkhound, we’re trying to solve as many of the challenges these drivers face as we can

Common questions about parking in Footscray
Who is Parkhound?
Anyone who has ever needed parking has most probably wasted a lot of time driving around looking for an open spot. Have you found yourself driving past a few residential properties, thinking it would be great if you could just park in their empty driveway? Well, what if you could?
Parkhound is an online parking platform created in Melbourne in 2015. Our marketplace connects homeowners with free space to rent with Drivers who need daily or monthly parking. Available parking can present itself in the form of lock-up garages, open driveways or even undercover options. Parking for local residents, commuters and visitors has been made so much simpler!
How does Parkhound work?
The Parkhound process is amazingly simple! In fact, it’s so easy to use that about 200,000 drivers and hosts across Australia are making use of this platform regularly!

Monthly parking in Footscray can cost you around $150 to $350/month. The cheapest parking option is at Footscray market, which costs $150/month.
