The university’s parking information places the venue within its 200 Lees campus area, where parking maps cover the surrounding university land (uottawa.ca).

Paid parking lots around the field are monitored 24 hours for payment, according to the facility information for Lees Field (ocua.ca). Free parking is identified for users with the relevant permit, while the paid areas are separately described as monitored parking (ocua.ca).
