Safe parking and mobility spaces are also available on campus (waikato.ac.nz). University of Waikato (Ruakura Facility) is at 21 Ruakura Road, while the published parking guidance is for the University of Waikato campus network. General parking fees increased from 1 February 2025, with PayMyPark continuing for students, staff and visitors (waikato.ac.nz). The Hamilton campus map identifies the route to Ruakura Satellite Campus (waikato.ac.nz). ## Parking Beyond the Campus Near Claudelands Drivers looking beyond the campus can use Hamilton Central car parks around London Street, Knox Street, Alexandra Street, Farmers and Central Park. These options place parking in Hamilton Central rather than at 21 Ruakura Road, so they suit drivers combining a campus visit with CBD errands. The listed Hamilton Central options include a secure space at 19 London Street, a space at 8 Knox Street, Hamilton CBD parking at 30 Alexandra Street, the Farmers Hamilton car park, Central Park car park and 212 Anglesea Street.

At 1.9 km, a space at 19 London Street costs $3.50 an hour, 8 Knox Street costs $4 an hour, 30 Alexandra Street costs $3 an hour and the Farmers Hamilton car park costs $3.50 an hour.

The university’s parking changes specifically describe general parking as serving students, staff and visitors, while the Hamilton campus map shows Ruakura as a satellite campus (waikato.ac.nz). The published parking material does not provide event dates or street-specific restrictions for Ruakura Road, so drivers using surrounding streets should follow the posted controls rather than treating nearby kerbs as campus parking.
