Speaker 1 (00:34):
Bunnings Kent Town is the worst car park in Adelaide
and I don't think you'll find too.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Many people that have been in there that will disagree. Yep.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
It has one entrance. It is so tiny and skinny yep,
one exit. There is no angle for you to turn
the car. And because it's Bunnings, there's a portraytes there
and they all drive forward raptors yep, which are semi trailers.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
We've got no room.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
I always end up parking near the Kentown, like on
a side street where you're not allowed to park, and
then you get a parking fine. Why yeah, okay, that's
Adelaide's worst car park.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
So it has been opened up and please give us
a ring. Thirty and one oh two three. We would
love to hear from you the worst car park that
you visit around Adelaide. I'll give you the top five list.
Go number two, and you and I definitely agree on this.

The Festival car Park okay, in the city, Yeah, can.

We just every time I go there. I don't know
if it's just me, but you park in there?

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Getting a park is fine. I'll always find a park,
But then I'm like, how do I get out?

Speaker 4 (01:32):
Where am I and where are the lifts?

Speaker 3 (01:34):
And then I end up walking out in near eos
and walk down the road where there's no sidewalk or
so I'm walking in the middle of the road where
cars come.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
I would not at all be shocked if people were
walking in late to Beauty and the Beast over the
last two months, Yeah, because they've gone, oh great, there's
a park for me right there.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Lets me just get in the elevator. Where are the elevators?

Speaker 4 (01:53):
Where where am I going? And where am I going
to come out?

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Turns out the elevators at the Festival car Park there's
one one hundred and fifty meters that way, and then
there's one hundred and fifty meters in the other direction.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
And you parked in the middle every.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
Time, every time, and you're always wearing heels and it's
cold and whatever.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
Okay, that is so dizzying to be on that list.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
Number three Find and Shopping Center. So many complaints about
this one. It's a skinny boy. It's the one just
off the corner there, like Find and Roads, it meets
the diagon one is actually it is a gross car park.
Number four Blackwood Shopping Center.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
Yeah, terrible, Yeah, yes, because there's a lot of people.

who can't really.

You can't be You just have to let them reverse
because they're not going to wait for you or give way.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Already only car park. Once I saw an old woman
turn into a car park and scrape the side of
the car next to her and get out of her
car and just walking to the shop.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
That'll be me at sixty.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Number five, by the way, to round out the list
that they have come up with anyway, is Burnside Village,
which I'm not sure I agree with the new Burnside.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
It's quite big, No, I would say it's massive. It's
intimidating when you go there because you don't know where
you are. But there's plenty of car parks and there's
always an out like you pop up and you don't.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Know where you're going to be.

one entrance and then you drive in and there's like
all these lines on the right to go into But
