Parking Downtown

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 parking strategy on the Master Plans page.

Wondering where to park downtown?

Parking signs have been installed in Downtown Squamish to clearly mark 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. 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 the gravel area near the BC Hydro site at the north end of Downtown. This is ideal parking for employees of downtown businesses.

Please be aware that some 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. 

We do our best to keep this information up-to-date but please check the area for signs and markings before parking your vehicle.
