Leeds based Citipark celebrates rebrand and major investment

Free fun for all the family is promised as fire breathers, stilt walkers and a LED juggler visit the Leeds Merrion Centre to celebrate the launch of CitiPark and a major £9m multi-storey car park refurbishment.

Town Centre Car Parks has been rebranded as CitiPark to reflect the leading car park operator’s rapid expansion.

And to mark the two landmark occasions CitiPark is holding a Firework extravaganza on Wednesday, January 28 at the Merrion Centre and first direct Arena car park, located on Merrion Way.

Live music from 6pm will get customers and members of the public into the party spirit and entertainment will be provided by a host of performers including the Glow Bot and balloon twister.

Offers and discounts from leading shops within the Merrion Centre will also be handed out to lucky guests who attend the celebration, while limited free parking will be available between 6-7.30pm for those who register online.

Councillor Keith Wakefield, leader of Leeds City Council, will join CitiPark’s managing director Ben Ziff to cut a ribbon to mark the completion of refurbishment work at the car park, before a firework display choreographed to music and the spectacular light show on the car park’s frontage will be a stunning highlight of the event.

The CitiPark name change comes as its flagship branch at the Merrion Centre completes an extensive investment programme by the company’s owner, Town Centre Securities PLC.

State-of-the-art technology including , ANPR systems, Pre-booking on arena nights, LED Lighting and pay as you park has been introduced at the car park, which serves Merrion Centre customers, the business community and visitors to the first direct arena and wider Arena Quarter.

Ben Ziff, managing director at CitiPark, said: “Our Merrion Centre car park is our flagship branch with nearly 1,000 spaces and we are extremely proud of what we have achieved.

“There is a real buzz about the Arena Quarter, thanks in no small part to the launch of the new arenaquarter.com website, and the Merrion Centre’s new and improved leisure offering.

“CitiPark is delighted to be able to mark this major investment by holding this event and with the festive season now over this is a great opportunity for people and families to have some fun.”
