University of Waterloo Campus Permits and Visitor Rates
The campus parking office manages permits and visitor parking through Sustainable Transportation, with permit accounts handled in ePark. Student permits are virtual, and a valid campus parking permit is required to join the parking waitlist (uwparking.uwaterloo.ca). The campus address is 310 Westmount Road North in Waterloo.
Visitors can use 24-hour parking in lots J, S, V, T, UWP and CLV for $10 a day, purchasing through the AMP mobile system (uwaterloo.ca). Lot M charges $11.45 a day, while Village 1 west and east cul-de-sac parking costs $4.30 an hour with a $13.80 maximum (uwaterloo.ca).

Parksy Monthly Spaces Around the Waterloo Campus
The closest priced Parksy options are two covered or garage spaces 840 m from the campus: secure covered parking with 24/7 access costs $100 a month, while the 330 Phillip Street garage costs $170 a month. The covered space suits staff or students seeking a regular monthly base, while the garage may appeal to drivers who prefer a named facility.
A 246 Lester Street garage is 940 m away at $150 a month. Two spaces at 308 Lester Street are 1.0 km away, priced at $200 and $100 a month. A private space 1.1 km away costs $100 a month. The Lester Street spaces fit students living nearby, staff with recurring weekday journeys, and visitors needing longer stays rather than a short campus appointment.
Busy Periods and Street Restrictions Around the Campus
Parking pressure is greatest when regular teaching, residence activity and campus events overlap, so students and staff should allow time for a space away from their preferred building. Athletic events add a separate demand: lots M and N are listed for facility parking, while lot R is available only Monday to Friday after 4:30 PM and on weekends (athletics.uwaterloo.ca).
The campus parking system requires a valid permit for permit parking, and visitor spaces are designated by lot rather than by general street availability (uwparking.uwaterloo.ca; uwaterloo.ca).
Other Waterloo Car Parks Beyond the Campus Lots
For a paid alternative outside the main visitor areas, the campus parking index lists lots C, N, W and X at $5 a day, with pay-and-display parking (ece.uwaterloo.ca). Lot X is free on weekends, making it useful for weekend visitors who can walk across campus rather than needing a space beside a destination building.
The same parking index lists lot HV at $2 an hour on weekdays, up to a daily maximum of $10, and a $5 flat rate is also shown for the site (ece.uwaterloo.ca). These options are separate from the Parksy monthly spaces and campus visitor rates above, so they suit drivers comparing short stays, weekday appointments and weekend visits rather than people seeking a reserved monthly space.
Stations and Walking Access to the Waterloo Campus
The campus is 1.0 km from Waterloo centre, at 310 Westmount Road North.
Parksy’s nearby options range from 840 m to 1.1 km from the campus, so the final walk is short enough for regular trips when a campus visitor bay is busy. The 840 m spaces are the nearest listed choices, followed by the 940 m Lester Street garage and the 1.0 km and 1.1 km spaces.
