Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Rideau Centre’s IMPARK Garages on Daly Avenue The centre’s parking is operated by IMPARK, with customer information listed by CF Rideau Centre. The operator’s parking information phone number is (613) 240-4555 (shops.cadillacfairview.com). A regular rate of $6 an hour is published for the Rideau Centre parking facility (impark.com). The centre’s own parking information also lists [free parking](https://www.parksy.com/parking-near-me) from Monday to Friday after 3:30 p.m. and on Saturday after 5:30 p.m. (downtownrideau.com). Green Garage and Red Garage are the named garage areas serving the mall. Green Garage is open from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. (shops.cadillacfairview.com). The facility provides the most direct option when you want to park inside the shopping complex rather than walk from a separate downtown space. ## Parksy Spaces Within 270 Metres of the Centre A second garage 140 m away is listed at $6 an hour. Other priced choices include secure Peace Tower parking, 170 m away, at $19.08 an hour, and a secure covered garage space 210 m away at $2.25 an hour. Covered parking at 41 George Street is 270 m away and costs $2.25 an hour. Secure parking at Fairmont Chateau Laurier is 250 m away at $19.08 a day. The $2.25-an-hour spaces beat the centre’s $6 hourly rate for longer stays, while the daily Chateau Laurier option suits a full-day visit. Show map of Ottawa ## Named Parking Around Rideau Street and Downtown Ottawa Peace Tower parking is another named downtown choice, 170 m away. Both give drivers alternatives to parking directly beneath the shopping centre. 41 George Street is also represented by a named covered parking option, 270 m from the centre. These locations place parking on the surrounding downtown streets rather than inside the mall complex, so they can be useful when the centre’s entrances are busy or when a lower hourly rate matters. ## Weekend Shopping and Event Pressure at the Centre Weekend demand is likely to be strongest during shopping periods, and the local parking guidance specifically identifies Saturday after 5:30 p.m. as a free-parking period for the centre area (downtownrideau.com). Weekday evening demand also changes after 3:30 p.m., when the listed free period begins from Monday to Friday (downtownrideau.com). CF Rideau Centre’s published visitor information identifies IMPARK as the parking operator and provides its customer telephone number, making the operator the relevant source for facility questions (shops.cadillacfairview.com). The published garage hours for Green Garage are 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. (shops.cadillacfairview.com). Drivers planning a late shopping visit should account for those operating hours rather than treating the garage as an all-night facility. ## Rideau Station and Walking Into the Centre Rideau Station is the nearest rail stop for the mall, with the station reached on foot in 2 minutes. From Rideau Station, the walk to 50 Rideau Street is short and direct, making rail a practical alternative when downtown parking is busy. The centre is 360 m from Ottawa centre, so visitors already in the central area can also approach on foot instead of moving a car between nearby streets.
