Other Car Parks Near the RAC
Street parking around the athletics facilities includes metered spaces around the periphery of the University of Toronto Athletic Centre, with an underground car park across the street at Graduate House (kpe.utoronto.ca). Those facilities are separate from the RAC, but provide useful alternatives for drivers comparing nearby university parking.
The Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre is another athletics venue with a clearly published parking rule: the first 2 hours are complimentary, while visits longer than 2 hours are subject to flat parking rates (tpasc.ca). It is not the campus facility at Gould Street, so it is not a practical substitute for a short walk to RAC activities.
When Gould Street Parking Is Hardest
Parking pressure is likely to be greatest when TMU activity is concentrated at the campus athletics venue or when nearby facilities host events. The university search listing describes the RAC as the central athletics facility, while the separate Mattamy Athletic Centre listing notes several surrounding parking lots (tmubold.ca; torontomu.ca).
The RAC is at 50 Gould Street, and the campus address is also recorded as 40,50 Gould Street in Toronto Centre. Drivers should treat nearby street spaces as limited urban parking rather than assume that university activity guarantees an available bay.
Parksy Spaces Near the RAC
Parksy lists a secure 24/7 garage 150 metres from the RAC at $4 an hour. Two secure underground options are 190 metres away, each priced at $4 an hour, giving students and staff practical choices for regular visits near the campus.

A secure garage near Spring Sushi and a Little Canada parking space are each 220 metres away at $11.99 an hour. The lower-priced garage and underground spaces suit longer university visits, while the hotel, Spring Sushi and Little Canada options provide nearby alternatives when convenience matters more than the hourly price.
Rail and Walking Access From TMU Station
TMU station is the nearest station to the RAC, at 260 metres and a 4-minute walk. The station provides the most direct public-transport approach for students, staff and visitors who want to avoid searching for a space around Gould Street.
The campus is also 260 metres from the centre of Garden District, although the address places the university facility in Toronto Centre, near Garden District. From the station, a short walk is likely to be simpler than driving for short appointments or busy campus activities, while the nearby Parksy garages remain useful for equipment, accessibility needs or longer visits.
