To provide a parking device for parking a vehicle including an electric vehicle having a battery.

In place of a conventional parking device, the parking device is provided with: power source equipment; a parking mechanism which has an electric motor operated by power supplied from the power source equipment, and which moves the vehicle between an entry/take-out space and a parking space for parking by being driven by the electric motor; power control equipment electrically connected to the power source equipment; and a power circuit connecting the electric vehicle parked in the parking space and the power control equipment. The power control equipment receives the power which the electric vehicle parked in the parking space discharges from the battery by way of the electric circuit, and feeds it to the power source equipment.
