Too tight, just one entry and exit and a poor layout are just some of the issues with South Australia’s worst car park.

Mechanic Jeopard Draper was surprised there aren’t more collisions in the Bunnings Car Park at Kent Town.

It was voted SA’s least favourite parking spot in a poll of RAA’s SA Move readers.

“The way it’s designed is horrible with only one entry and exit,” said Mr Draper, 23, who visits the Bunnings in Adelaide’s inner-east regularly.

“It’s way too tight and it’s poorly laid out.”

His colleague, Harry Hollams said every time he visited “it’s a close call” with hitting another vehicle.

“It’s a busy area so you need more space,” Mr Hollams, 19, said.

Bunnings declined to comment.

Of the more than 134 car parks nominated, the car park at Festival Plaza had the second most votes and Findon Shopping Centre was third.

One respondent to the survey said the Festival car park was “a maze, signage is unclear and there are narrow turn-offs everywhere”.

Another said it was “full of dead ends, narrow parks and it’s hard to get out after shows”.

RAA said its engineers would investigate and contact the owners and operators of the car parks.
