Parking

While there is street parking nearby, PTE recommends parking in the underground parkade at Portage Place. It's secure, patrolled and offers easy, direct access to PTE via both Elevator 6 and Elevators 4 & 5.

It's also one of the most reasonably-priced downtown parking lots - $7 for an evening after 6 pm (compared to upwards of $12-$15 around the Concert Hall), $15 during Canada Life events.

Parking in the Portage Place Parkade:
Enter off Vaughan Street (the Carlton entrance is closed due to construction), then park in the section with blue pillars (near Elevator 6) or the yellow pillars (near Elevators 4 & 5), and pay before coming upstairs. There are payment machines next to the elevators, and you'll pay for parking at these machines in advance by entering your license plate number and payment.

NOTE: any of those elevators will take you up to the 3rd floor to get to PTE.

Portage Place Parkade is Zone # 46615.

There is a QR code on the side of the payment machine that will take you to the ParkMobile website, where you can pay for parking without standing in line for a machine and check out as a guest, so no need to create an account.

You can also download the ParkMobile app at the usual app stores and pay by phone to avoid the lineups at the payment machines.

NOTE:if you're attending PTE at the same time as a Canada Life Centre event, we will send you an Access Code to discount your parking from the higher "event" price. Click the next link for more information.
