Look up the rules online but you can park from as little as 1 euro a day for a maximum of 4 days. You do have to make sure you take the tram to and from Jan Pieter Heijestraat (400 meters) because this counts as visiting the center of town which is necessary to get the discount.
The advantage of parking here is it is cheap and safe. The disadvantage is the limited time you can park here versus street parking on the edge of town.
