Parking rates and payment
The published daily maximum is C$12.75 in October–March and C$17.75 in April–September, with paid hours of 6am–11pm. EasyPark states the daily rates include GST and parking sales tax. These are a dated price check, not a live quote; the meter and current Lot 62 listing govern your purchase.
For a two-hour visit, the published hourly totals are C$8.50 or C$9.50 by season. Three low-season hours reach the listed daily maximum; four high-season hours would exceed it. These are arithmetic examples for ordinary car parking, not event or coach quotations. Some meters do not sell daily-maximum tickets, so check the available product before paying.
Choose a parking area for your visit
The table uses parking-area names from the operator’s meter-location map. Map links are destination searches, not reserved spaces or live availability. The attraction may have several parking sections; inspect the pedestrian route from the particular stall you find.
Choose Second Beach parking for a pool-focused visit rather than parking at the Aquarium and adding an unnecessary crossing of the park. Likewise, Prospect Point parking serves the upper viewpoint; do not treat the upper lookout and the seawall below as the same arrival point.
Can you move between lots on one ticket?
A daily pass is confirmed by the City as valid across park lots and spaces. Hourly-ticket wording conflicts: the City’s arrival page restricts hourly tickets to their purchase area, while EasyPark says a meter ticket works throughout the park. Ask EasyPark or follow the displayed terms before moving on an hourly ticket; this guide does not resolve that conflict by guessing. City pass guidance; City hourly-ticket wording.
Accessible spaces, charging and overnight parking
EasyPark lists designated disability spaces with a displayed SPARC decal and regular parking charges, plus EV charging by the Aquarium; charging costs are separate. It also prohibits overnight parking, normally 11pm–6am unless posted otherwise. Check the actual space and connecting route against your access requirements. A parking permit is not a guarantee that every nearby path is suitable.
Leaving luggage and planning for events
If you are visiting after checking out, arrange luggage storage with your accommodation or a storage provider before arriving; verify its opening hours and collection deadline. We have not audited a storage service or certified any car park as secure. Do not build the day around an assumed staffed luggage facility in the park.
For events, leave time for parking searches and the walk to the venue, and read road notices. If one area is full, consider shortening the plan or changing your arrival mode rather than paying for a distant space and rushing.
