Parking on evenings and Sundays in these areas is always free. For the full list of Downtown parking lots and rates, visit guelph.ca/parking.
How it works
Drivers will press the button at the entrance gate and take a ticket to enter the applicable parking area. When leaving, they’ll submit their ticket at the exit gate, and if the total time has been under two hours from time of entry, the gate will open automatically.
If the parking time exceeds two hours, the driver will pay for the additional time according to the regular parking rate and can do so via debit or credit card at the exit gate or at a pay station.
The East and Macdonell Surface lots do not have ticketed gate access. These locations are pay by HONK app only. When drivers register for parking in these lots through the app, an automatic free two-hours will accompany their vehicle registration.
