Anyone know anywhere to park for free near Cambie and Broadway?
 

Looking for somewhere to park for a few hours that isn't limited to like 1 - 2 hours. Thanks.

Lol I'm just parked at broadway and renfrew (abit of a walk, but depending where you wanna go i guess), and there's tons of free street parking (3-6pm exception though).

But now that I think of it it is quite far to cambie... Just wasting time posting I guess lol

1-2 hours? That's like only $2-3 for parking. :rolleyes:

Try parking at a restaurant cheap ass.

Not looking for 1-2 hour parking... I'm going to be there for 6 hours lol.

Park in the residential neighbourhood and walk a couple blocks. I do it all the time.

Wayyy less chance of being towed than if your park somewhere on Cambie or Broadway.

Along W. 7th and Ash(east side of ash), there is about 4-5 free spaces with no parking regulations. But those spots are usually always taken, unless you go there super early in the morning. Also on W. 7th and Heather there is about 10 spots, but yeah go early.

Otherwise you can take your chance along the residential alleys.

What you doing for 6 hours? Jerking off? :rofl:

Joking aside,
Doesn't the residential areas require permit?

I say just CanadaLine it. You'd have to luck out to find residential parking in a no permit zone or be extremely early. You can always park at MEC for $2 and walk it :D


If you're closer to Oak you can park at the Real Estate Board and pretend to be a Realtor going in for training :D Shhh I didn't tell you anything!

Sounds like he's using the Canada line to get downtown. Why don't you just park on Cambie and 49th instead? Lots of free parking.

^Residential areas around King Ed Station works too, just walk up a few blocks

7th and cambie is quite close.. save on foods :)

14th and cambie, half a block west from tropika.

they are usually all taken by 8am though.

if ur working for 6 hours and you get a break in the middle park at best busy underground parking lot

use a gift card from Oakridge or metro and it can buy a ticket (max of 3 hours) for freeeeEEeee then just buy another one when u take a break :)

i parked on Manitoba street between 12th and Broadway, usually there's parking along those streets. I used to work in the area and i would usually park next to the little park there. Theres no signs showing that you can't park there so :thumbsup:

park at cambie bestbuy/ canadian tire parking lot, and pay by using an oakridge/metrowtown/richmond centre gift card ;)
the machine will read the gift card as a credit card, then u get free parking!
and it wont deduct any money off of your gift card

Only 3 hour max, then you gotta renew.

i use those prepaid credit card ($0 balance) and they work until they ban the number. Some of the cards will say authorization offline. You gotta use a fresh one.

Park at the gravel lot at King Ed and Cambie and take the canada line down, it's only 1 stop and will save u time looking for a spot. there isn't much free parking near VGH except for a few 1hr or 2hr spots. You could try parking at the icafe spots at the holiday inn, I doubt anyone enforces it and they have a few, although 6h is way too long.
