Parking Alva, 5 Stirling Road

There is now a sign that says ‘No overnight parking please’. One exit further on, there is a parking lot where you might be allowed to stay overnight. It looks different from the photos (behind an old building with some large containers on the site). We drove on.

A great place in the middle of a park. Little to no disturbance from traffic. The park is popular for walking dogs. Beautiful view of the mountains located directly north of Alva.

Quietly situated and beautiful, level parking area next to a park in the village with play and sports facilities. During the day, there is a pleasant buzz of athletes and walkers; in the evening, it is very quiet. No facilities, but we felt safe here. Good opportunity to walk the dog, who can run freely in the park.
