Parking at Ottawa Station on Tremblay Road
The VIA Rail station is at 200 Tremblay Road in Eastway Gardens, near Riviera. VIA Rail identifies the station’s parking area as a waiting area, with the first 30 minutes free (viarail.ca). This arrangement is most useful for passenger drop-offs and short pickups rather than a full commuting day.
Drivers using the forecourt should allow time to enter and leave without blocking passengers or vehicles. The station is close to Tremblay station, which is 90 metres away, or a two-minute walk, making transit an immediate alternative when a car is only needed for the first or last part of the journey.
Planning a Weekday Arrival at the Station
The free first 30 minutes at the VIA Rail parking area suits a quick passenger handover, but it is not a long-stay parking rate (viarail.ca). A commuter who needs to leave a vehicle during a rail trip should treat the station area as a short waiting space and plan the onward journey before arriving.
For longer stays, Ottawa’s municipal parking information lists paid parking from Monday to Sunday, 8 am to midnight. Level 1 and 2 spaces charge $1.25 per 30 minutes, have a $5 maximum and a two-hour time limit, while Level 3 and 4 spaces charge $1.25 per 30 minutes with a $15 maximum (ottawa.ca). Those limits make the municipal options more suitable for shorter visits than an all-day rail commute.
Parksy Parking Near Ottawa Station
The closest priced Parksy option is an outdoor space at Calgary Stampede Lot 11, 820 metres away, costing $18 an hour. Its short distance suits a driver who values proximity and needs a straightforward outdoor space near the station.

A secure covered garage, a secure commercial garage and a covered space at 1250 Cummings Avenue each cost $2.25 an hour at 1.9 kilometres, making them useful for drivers who prefer covered or commercial parking and can allow extra time for the walk or local connection.
Street Parking Around Eastway Gardens
Ottawa’s municipal parking information applies paid parking from Monday to Sunday, 8 am to midnight (ottawa.ca).

A short station visit therefore fits more naturally with the lower-level municipal spaces than with a full-day parking plan.
The published municipal rates are $1.25 per 30 minutes, with a $5 maximum for Level 1 and 2 and a $15 maximum for Level 3 and 4 (ottawa.ca). These figures describe municipal parking rather than unrestricted curbside parking, so drivers should use a marked paid location that matches the intended stay.
