## Parking Beside MacOdrum Library at Carleton University

The closest official option is Carleton University’s P1 lot, beside MacOdrum Library, with a four-hour maximum for parking (library.carleton.ca). Visitor parking areas on campus are charged at $5 per hour from May 1, 2026 (carleton.ca).

P1 is intended for shorter visits, so it suits a library session within the posted limit rather than an all-day stay. Carleton identifies four accessible visitor parking spaces in the small lot near Dunton Tower and the tunnel entry (carleton.ca).

## Busy Campus Periods and Colonel by Drive Parking Rules

Weekday demand is strongest when students and staff are using the Carleton campus, making the short-stay spaces around the library a practical choice only when the visit fits the four-hour maximum. The P1 restriction applies to parking in the closest lot (library.carleton.ca).

Drivers seeking a longer campus visit can use P7, where Carleton lists all-day parking at $12 daily on a first-come, first-served basis from Monday to Friday (carleton.ca). The campus visitor information also identifies P18 and the Library Garage as paid parking locations, with payment zones 1018 and 1021 respectively (carleton.ca).

## Other Carleton University Car Parks Near MacOdrum

P7 is the named all-day alternative for visitors who do not want to rely on the four-hour P1 limit, and Carleton lists it at $12 daily (carleton.ca). P10 is another campus option at $20 daily, while P5A is listed at $15 daily (carleton.ca).

The campus visitor parking page also lists P18 and the Library Garage among the places where visitors can pay, while Carleton’s parking map covers the wider campus lot layout (carleton.ca). The Library Garage is beneath MacOdrum, with access from P1, and after-hours permit parking uses levels 2 and 3 (carleton.ca).

## Parksy Parking Spaces Around MacOdrum and Capital

For a closer Parksy alternative, a lot in Ottawa’s Lebreton is 570 m away and costs $6.99 an hour. The listing is a useful option for drivers who prefer a private space outside the campus lot system.

At 1.4 km, driveway and lot spaces at 117 Hopewell Avenue are listed at $2.70 an hour, with a monthly space at the same address priced at $150 a month. A monthly lot on Bank Street is 1.8 km away and costs $150 a month. A private 24/7 space 2.3 km away costs $10 a day.

## Mooney’s Bay Station and Walking to MacOdrum

Mooney’s Bay station is the nearest listed station to MacOdrum, at 1.3 km and a 17-minute walk. The station provides a practical alternative when campus parking is busy or when the visit is easier to combine with rail travel.

The library is at 1125 Colonel By Drive in Capital, near Riverside Park. Riverside Park centre is 1.8 km from the site, so the station route is the shorter of the two listed approaches for visitors arriving without a car.
