“A lot of people drive to Brno by car, not only for work but also for culture,” said Markéta Vaňková (ODS), Mayor of the City of Brno. “It is therefore extremely positive that another car park is opening. It is also nice to design the building in a way that respects the current built-up area and brings improvements to the transport services of the city of Brno.”
Petr Kratochvíl (ODS), City Council member for transport and the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Brněnské komunikace, explained that the rectangular building design has a prefabricated reinforced cement open frame with four above-ground floors. The building is 12.4 meters, corresponding to the height of other buildings in the surrounding area.

The River Park is situated on Polní, in the south of Brno, and connected to the city by ring road I/42 leading along Poříčí and Heršpická to the expressway I/52. Tram and bus stops are within walking distance, allowing the public to reach the main station easily. The construction started in May 2020 and was completed after 12 months. Parking at the site is charged CZK 50 per hour for the first 12 hours, then CZK 100 for each additional hour.
