Parking

Parking Information

• On-Street Pay Parking

  In high demand areas, pay visitor parking is available by meter or the PaybyPhone parking app. Check street signage carefully.  If your smartphone is unable to connect to the app, use the meters available at the Sunset Trailhead lot, the Lions Bay Beach Park lot and the Kelvin Grove Beach & Marine Park lot to obtain a receipt to display on the dash.  Enforcement is active 7 days a week.

• Parking Lots

  Boat trailers, campers and RVs are not permitted in pay lots (street pay zones OK).  

  Meter receipts are not permits for Annual Permit or Resident Permit zones.

  Sunset Trailhead Lot:

  Approximately 15 pay parking stalls available.  Multiday parking up to 72 hours. Rates are $3/hr up to $24/day, 3 day maximum. Physical parking receipts are non-transferable and must match the licence plate. Use the + or – keys to add or subtract time.  The meter's MAX key will buy three days of parking for $72. If all spaces are in use, look on the east side of Mountain Drive or use the free parking lot at the school (Bayview Road) on weekends and in summer when school is not in session. 

  Lions Bay Beach Park lot, just above rail line:

  Approximately 22 pay parking stalls available.  The park and parking are open from 8 am to 10 pm. Dogs are not permited. The meter's MAX key will buy a full day of parking for $36.

Permits must be affixed on the inside left side of the front windshield of a parked vehicle, not left on the dash.  Permits may be transferred to tenants or other residents, but not sold.  Additional Permits are $40 (proof of residency and vehicle ownership required).

• Guest Permits

  Residents may request a reasonable number of one-day Guest Permits for on-street parking in Permit zones, valid to noon the following day. Guest Permits are not valid in pay zones.

• Contractor Permits

  Residents may request Contractor Permits for $40 for 3 months to park in Permit zones adjacent to the project.
