Dalhousie Parking Services manages campus parking from the Oulton-Stanish Centre, Room 1002, at 6191 South Street (dal.ca). Drivers can use general reserved meters or HotSpot short-term parking, with the university directing parking enquiries to 902-494-1785 and parking@dal.ca (dal.ca).
HotSpot short-term parking at Studley costs $2 an hour or $14 a day (dal.ca). Short-term parking at the McCain Building costs $6 from 4:30 pm to 1:30 am (dal.ca). A further short-term area is on the west side of Alumni Crescent, directly across from the Dalplex Fitness Centre on South Street (dal.ca).

When South End Parking Is Hardest
Parking pressure is greatest around the campus during term-time arrivals, when students and staff are travelling to classes and offices. The university’s short-term parking locations include Studley, McCain Building and the west side of Alumni Crescent, giving drivers several campus areas to consider for shorter visits (dal.ca).
Visitors attending campus events or open days also compete for short-term spaces near the academic buildings and Dalplex Fitness Centre. The west-side Alumni Crescent area is directly across from Dalplex Fitness Centre on South Street (dal.ca), making that approach especially relevant for visitors using the recreation centre.
Parking enforcement applies on campus, and the penalty for illegally parking in an accessible parking area ranges from $30 to $120 (dal.ca). Drivers who leave a vehicle in a restricted accessible space risk the higher campus penalty rather than a routine $30 ticket.
