Paid parking applies on weekdays and weekends until 5pm in this car park (nga.gov.au). This is the most direct choice for visitors who want to park beneath the site rather than walk from Parkes or Barton. The gallery is open every day from 10am to 5pm, with free admission (nga.gov.au). Weekend parking is free, while paid parking applies on weekdays until 5pm (digital.nga.gov.au). ## Alternative Car Parks Around Parkes and Barton [Wilson Parking](https://www.parksy.com/blog/wilson-parking-review-pros-cons-summary-services) lists parking for the attraction among its professionally managed locations across Australia (wilsonparking.com.au). This gives drivers an alternative operator to consider when the underground car park is busy, particularly around major exhibitions and public programmes. VisitCanberra identifies a carpark and coach parking among the site's facilities (visitcanberra.com.au). Weekend parking at the gallery is free (digital.nga.gov.au), so visitors who can travel on a Saturday or Sunday have an official free option at the destination itself. The King Edward Terrace access mentioned by the gallery's visitor information is another entry point for the main parking area (digital.nga.gov.au).

Weekday visits are especially relevant because paid parking applies until 5pm, whereas weekend parking is free (digital.nga.gov.au). The main underground car park is accessed from Parkes Place (nga.gov.au), while visitor information also identifies King Edward Terrace as an access route (digital.nga.gov.au). Drivers approaching from either street should follow the signed entry and use only spaces permitted for visitors. The site is in Parkes, near Barton, so nearby street parking can be affected by demand from national institutions and events. ## Walking and Public Transport to the Parkes Gallery Precinct The address is Parkes Place, Parkes ACT 2600.
