The RecPlex Parkade entrance and exit are at 350 Young Street. Parking costs $4 an hour, with $2 charged for each additional half hour, or $15 for a daily stay (uwinnipeg.ca).

Other Car Parks Around Downtown Near Colony
Impark operates a rooftop parking facility on the west side of Colony Street and advertises a $100 special rate for students and University staff (impark.com). This gives students and employees another paid option close to the campus area rather than relying on the RecPlex Parkade.
The University’s employee parking form lists monthly spaces at Lot D, 507 Ellice, Lot 141 across from CBC, and Lot 286 behind Helen Betty Osborne. Each listed preferred lot is priced at $147 a month (uwinnipeg.ca). These are useful for staff looking for a regular monthly arrangement around Ellice Avenue, rather than casual visitor parking.
The Busiest Times for University Parking
Parking pressure is likely to be greatest during teaching periods, when students and employees are arriving together around the Downtown campus. The RecPlex’s indoor casual parking is especially relevant for short visits to the University, while student and employee permits are handled through separate application routes (uwinnipeg.ca).
The campus parking map identifies the RecPlex Parkade entrance on 350 Young Street, so drivers heading for casual parking should approach via that entry rather than search around the University blocks (uwinnipeg.ca).
