Finding Accessible Parking in Norway Just Got Easier

16/03/2026

Navigating a new city should be about the sights and the culture, not the stress of finding a place to park.

My name is Nicklas Eriksson, and I created Handipark to solve a problem that hit very close to home.

My mother lives in Sweden and often visits me here in Norway. Because she has a disabled parking permit, my mother frequently struggled to find available, accessible spots in unfamiliar areas. In my spare time, I developed Handipark to help people navigate more easily. What started as a personal project for my mother has now grown into a tool designed to help an entire community.

Handipark uses live data from the Norwegian Public Roads Administration (Statens Vegvesen), ensuring that the information is always current.

Whether you are a local resident or a tourist visiting Norway's beautiful fjords and cities, Handipark helps you find a spot that fits your specific needs.
