Parking

Paid parking and time limits

Paid parking is available in all municipal parking lots and metered and pay-by-plate machines in Downtown Oakville, Kerr Village and Bronte Village, with the exception of the Church Street Parkade in Downtown Oakville, which will be open to permit holders only until alternate payment methods can be implemented. 

Parking is free after 6 p.m. and on Sundays and holidays in all three business improvement areas. In Downtown Oakville, parking is also free on Saturdays for the remainder of the year, during the Lakeshore Road reconstruction project.

Enforcement of three-hour time limits for residential on-street parking will also resume beginning August 4.

Welcome back offer

To welcome residents back to our stores and restaurants and encourage contactless, cashless pay, the town is offering first-time users of the HONK mobile parking app up to $5 toward their parking, using the promo code OAK2020 in all three business improvement areas, through to the end of the year. In Downtown Oakville, the first hour of each visit is free when using the promo code DOWNTOWN on the HONK app. Residents will also notice the town has established temporary free curb-side pick up spaces for quick stops in all three shopping areas.

If you park on private property and leave the area, you may be ticketed and/or towed. Please remember to abide by all posted parking signs when leaving your vehicle. If unsure, please check with the restaurant or business you are visiting to ensure you are parked in the right place.
