Default SAIT Parking

Hey all, I am looking for tips on where to park near SAIT, it is insane how much they charge you and I want something cheaper. I might go park at a Park & Ride, then C-Train it from there. Any other suggestions?

nearest park and ride would be brentwood, or 39ave if your in the south. good luck, uni/college parking is never cheap.

There's a paid parking lot behind the Timmy's on 16 AV just east of 10 Street if you don't mind walking a bit.

i've long since graduated from SAIT, so i don't mind giving out this little secret now. behind the furthest parking lot (the one closest to 10th st) there's free parking in Riley Park right off of 14th st (or at least it was when i went there 4 years ago). you'd have to get there early and it's a bit of a hike up the hill and long walk to the campus, but it still beat getting ripped off by the parking fees

p(parkade) 4$ all day.
p3 9$ all day.
p5 expensive for limited hours.
Riley park 3$ all day but like mentioned there is a hill to walk up.(south of p1)

The rest of the parking, I have no idea.

The best are P1 or the Jubilee parking, but you have to go early to get in either of those.

Remember that the city is going to start charging for Park & Ride soon. I teach at SAIT, and find it much cheaper to take the train, especially for students, who have a U-Pass included in tuition costs.

If you get there early (before 8:30), the Jubilee auditorium parking is the cheapest, plus it's covered. When I was still working there in October, it was $4 a day.

P1 is now 7$? Good f'ing lord!

It's almost never plowed, there isn't any reliable power plug ins and by the end of the day it's a nightmare to get out of.

Glad I'm finished with that place.

jubilee and acad parking are $4 a day, $20 a week assuming you go every day is not bad at all for parking.
