    Hey Everyone,

    Wanted to make a thread about the Best and Worst Parking Areas in Metro Manila.

    I'll start off with the Worst ones:

    Eastwood City Walk Building Parking: Well honestly I created this thread thinking of this parking building. This has got to be the worst especially in terms of ventilation: Sobrang init sa parking dito, to the point na kala mo nakabilad sa araw kotse mo pag sakay mo at tataas talaga temp ng sasakyan! I don't think they've done anything about this. I've parked here ever since Eastwood opened and it never changed. Not to mention their up and down ramps na makitid at prone sa sayad. Buti nalang di ako nakalowered. :D

    Eastwood Mall naman is poorly oriented. And those large single ramps leading to the lower levels are stupid too.

    Actually I've stereotyped Megaworld parkings already for being really bad. Another one that comes to mind is the building parking in Resorts World Manila... Or that basement parking of Burgos Circle.

    Greenbelt Basement Parkings: You can easily get lost with their underground parking especially if you're not too familiar with the place. I don't know if their integration of all the Greenbelt parkings is good or bad. Plus most of the time by the time you exit up, you'll usually say "way the heck am I?"


    Feel free to post yours :D

    ^ +1 sa Eastwood Mall parking nakakaligaw pa sa basement.

    Among malls si SM (MOA carpark building) simple and ample spaces yung slots.

    How about yung parking ng shangrila mall? Hindi friendly for newbie drivers hehe sharp curves going up and down.

    Sm malls have better parking.

    Although hindi usual para sa karamihan, the DILG parking at the new building in EDSA cor. Quezon ave is one of the worst.

    the worst parking area, is the one that did not exist before. where the threat of towing was real.
    but one of the worse for me, is in our workplace parking.
    whoever designed it, had tricycles and old minicas in mind, driven by gnomes... napaka-kitid ng space alloted per vehicle!

    Best in terms of space is SM Mega mall parking D.

    Worst in terms of parking queue naman is Mega Mall. Ubos na gas mo mo bago ka makapasok ng parking

    Yeah in fairness sa SM Malls maayos naman and maluwag parking spaces nila. Ang hirap lang yung pila lagi.

    SM Aura has nice parking!

    Oh by the way, isa pang worst yung sa Shangrila Crossings building. Mga 3 storeys ata ung kailangan mo iakyat paikot bago dumating sa parking spaces. I once saw a stalled L300 utility van being pushed up that ramp, haha good luck on that.

    Best parking
    Megamall, MOA, Festival Mall (when in doubt, 2nd basement), SM hypermarket sucat
    Typically sm malls have symmetrical grid layouts so theyre easier to understand

    Worst
    Trinoma- ridiculous ramp, dizzying layout, inconsistent spacing, poorly designed corners
    Shangrila - tight ramp, otherwise ok
    Asian hospital - valet only by noon, utterly confusing due to the doctor's only spaced, terrible layout
    ATC- slots sized for a getz, a terrible idea in a town of Explorers and Camrys
    Muntinlupa city hall - tightest parking lot Ive ever been in
    Tomas Morato - in between the drunks, on street parking, watch-your-car-boys, its a pretty terrible place
    DLSU- my friends told me its horrible
    Podium - the only SM mall with an assymetrical layout, terribly confusing, can take 30mins to get out in rush hour

    Masikip. Mahirap mag-maniobra.

    Kalokohan yan. Bakit kasi nanalo mga ganyang politiko?

    SM malls eh ok ang parking, with the exception ng Megamall A, B, and C, and its very long queue line.

    I find Trinoma parking (Mindanao parking) na ok kaso masikip ang speed ramp nila. Sa North parking naman eh medyo masikip pero tolerable at ang speed ramp nila doon is ok.

    Shangrila parking is worst for me dahil sa sobrang steep and very poor design ng parking area nila. I only consider 2 levels there na maayos ang parking.

    Lucky Chinatown Mall, mataas ang entry ramp at medyo makipot ang turns pero ample parking space naman.

    Fisher Mall naman is good for me pero ang mali lang ay yung entrance ng parking from Roosevelt. Madalas dito mag-cause ng traffic dahil hinahayaan nila yun ibang sasakyan na mag U-turn from Roosevelt pabalik ng Q. Ave.

    Worst: Eastwood Mall parking. If first time mo mag park, there is a high probability na maliligaw ka.

    Medyo iba yung criteria ko.

    For me, mas importante yung bilang ng mga solo slots.
    And for this, Aura, Rockwell and Podium get my vote. Madaming solo slots doon, if you come early. Moreover, medyo malayo yung solo slots from the entrance. Since tamad maglakad ang mga pinoy, those slots are usually the last to be filled up.


    Worst for me is GSC. Sobrang gulo doon. And every time I have the misfortune of being forced to park there, palagi na lang may bagong door ding yung sasakyan ko pag balik ko.

    Well actually sakin not bad ung sa Shangrila building parking-- ang problem lang dun is yung initial ramp na matarik, paliko at matagtag. After that naman its short ramps going up/down.

    Pati yung sa bagong wing na basement ng Shangrila may awkward curve rin yung up/down ramps. Kinda weird that they couldn't build perfect parking areas given the fact that they're arguably one of the best developers in the PH right now.
