The District of Squamish Parking Strategy aims to maintain reasonable parking systems and infrastructure in order to support citizens and economic development initiatives while encouraging a transition from private vehicle use to alternate modes of transportation throughout Squamish.
View the strategy here.
Parking signs have been installed in Downtown Squamish to clearly mark approximately 250 x two-hour parking spots, located in the heart of the business and shopping district along Cleveland and Second Avenues, and the cross streets between Pemberton Avenue and Victoria Street. Check out the map below to view the RED areas where parking within those zones is limited to a two-hour maximum. This will allow for maximum turn-over of spots to accommodate customers, clients and visitors of downtown businesses.
Longer-term parking with no daily limit stipulated is available on various side streets, as well as the parking lot at the end of Main Street and the gravel area near the BC Hydro site at the north end of Downtown. This is ideal parking for employees of downtown businesses.
Check out the map to view the GREEN areas where parking is available all day. Please be aware that some of these lots do not allow overnight parking.
Please note that street parking is permitted throughout Squamish (unless otherwise posted), except in bike lanes and within five metres of a fire hydrant.
