Ambleside Park 90 minutes of free parking anticipated to begin July 7

A red parking sign reads "Welcome to Ambleside Park - Public Pay Parking" with a parking lot and blue sky in the background.

The District of West Vancouver anticipates that 90 minutes of free parking at Ambleside Park will be available to park visitors beginning on Tuesday, July 7, 2026.

The anticipated start date reflects the time required to complete Council final approval of the required bylaw amendments, and for the operator to install new signage, and carry out testing of the new 90-minute free parking option.

Once in effect, visitors to Ambleside Park will be able to receive 90 minutes of free parking.

To receive the 90-minute free parking period, users must start a PayByPhone session and enter their licence plate. A session can be started:

  • in the PayByPhone app
  • on the PayByPhone website at paybyphone.com
  • by calling PayByPhone at 604-909-7275 (PARK)

Each licence plate is eligible for one free 90-minute session per day. If a PayByPhone session is not started, regular parking rates apply.

For visitors who wish to stay longer than 90 minutes, paid parking at a rate of $2.50 per hour is required for the remaining time beyond the free period. Additional time can be purchased using the hangTag or PayByPhone mobile apps, or at a physical pay station.

West Vancouver residents are eligible for an annual parking pass at no cost. Apply online at impark.com/westvan. Residents with a valid parks parking pass do not need to register for the 90 minutes of free parking.
