Update, October 26: our parking change now starts Monday, November 2. The indoor kiosks will stay available for a short transition period.
Starting Monday, November 2, the iPad parking kiosks inside the KCC are being replaced. Don’t worry, you still get 3 free hours of parking in our lot! You’ll just claim them at the parking meter in the lot instead. The same change is happening at Hillcrest and Trout Lake community centres.
How to get your 3 free hours
Starting November 2, you have two options:
- At the parking meter in the lot (no fee): enter your licence plate at the meter to claim your 3 free hours.
- In a parking app ($0.45 fee): parking apps charge a $0.45 convenience fee per transaction, even if you’re only claiming your free 3 hours.
The meter is the free way to do it!
Staying longer?
After your 3 free hours, parking is $3.50 an hour. If you’re here for a rental or a longer event, you can claim your free hours and pay for the extra time in one transaction.
Why the change?
The City made the change after hearing from visitors that the kiosks were a hassle. The parking meter is simpler, more reliable and familiar, and it should mean fewer parking tickets issued by mistake.
Where to park
Our parking lot is on 42nd Avenue, with direct access to the main centre and the Seniors Centre. Street parking is also available nearby.
