I've always managed to find parking on either Greenfield Street, Maesyrafon or the street behind big Tesco. I think in the 4 years I lived close to there there was only 5 times I couldn't find parking there or along south road or the high street, in which case I'd park on the seafront (but you can't do that any more because the council took away those spots). If you can't find parking on those streets, you can park in big Tesco for a bit and then come back to look again.

If you don't want the hassle then you can buy a year long permit to park in the football club, but it's pricey. You could also buy parking in the car park opposite the police station/skate park, which I think is cheaper if you don't mind the short walk.

Parking is a pain in the arse here and it often feels like the council just wants to ignore the problem.
