Park Mark is the accredited logo of the Safer Parking Scheme, which is given to parking facilities that have achieved the requirements of a risk assessment conducted by the Police and the British Parking Association. Their assessments, which are conducted in collaboration with the police, looks at the management and maintenance of the facility, checking that there are appropriate levels of amenities, surveillance, lighting, signage, and cleanliness.

A Park Mark is awarded following a risk assessment conducted by the Police, meaning the parking facility has put in place measures that deter criminal activity and anti-social behaviour.
