How to Find Free Parking

Choose a province and a city or county, and we show every parking lot in that area whose fee status is registered as exactly free in the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's Standard Data for Nationwide Parking Lots. If the source data includes operating days and hours for weekdays, Saturdays, and holidays, those appear too. Across the country, 12,866 lots are registered as free.

The values are exactly as written in the public data. We do not rewrite or summarize them.

The fee status field in the standard data has four possible values: free, paid, mixed, and one rare mislabeled entry. This app lists only lots marked exactly free. For mixed or paid lots, if the managing institution's own remarks mention the word free, we show that sentence separately, in the original wording. That is a quote of the source, not our own judgment that the lot is free.

A lot marked free is only usable during its operating hours. If the weekday opening and closing times are 00:00 and 23:59, it is open around the clock; otherwise it may be closed outside those hours.

We show whether a disabled parking zone is present when that field exists in the data. Payment method is usually blank for free lots, but if a value is present we show it as is (we do not know why a free lot would have one).

When latitude and longitude are present and fall inside South Korea, we add a map link. If coordinates are missing or fall outside that range, we do not add a link, since sending someone to the wrong spot is worse than showing nothing.

Province and city or county are not present in the source data directly; we derive them from the road address (or, if missing, the parcel address). Two entries whose addresses were too garbled to place in a region are left out of this list.

• Start from the neighborhood name. Pick a province on the home page, then a city or county, to see every free lot there.
• Check the operating days. A lot listed for weekdays only may be closed on weekends or holidays. If weekdays, Saturdays, and holidays are all listed, it is open every day.
• Check the number of spaces. A lot with few spaces is more likely to be full. This app does not track real-time occupancy.

• Read the conditional notices too. Lots registered as paid or mixed but whose remarks mention free are grouped separately near the bottom of each region page. Some are free only on holidays or only at night, so read the full sentence.
• Look at mixed lots as well. Mixed means the same lot has both free and paid spaces. These do not appear in this app's free list, but the conditional notice section sometimes carries a hint about which part is free.
• Call ahead when in doubt. Where a phone number is listed, calling the managing institution is the most reliable way to confirm old or ambiguous entries.

My neighborhood is not here. Either the local government has not uploaded this standard data yet, or it has, and there simply is no free lot registered. We leave it blank instead of making something up.

A free lot I remember is missing. The local government may have converted it to paid, or the data update may be behind. Check the reference date shown on the page, and if it looks old, trust the local government's own notice instead.

I want to know if a spot is open right now. This app does not cover that. An on-site sign takes priority over anything here.

Where is this recorded. Which neighborhood you looked at is never sent to a server. See the privacy policy below for details.
