There is 2 hour parking by the curb on Capitol Hill Crescent. If it's only 2 hour M-F then you should be able to park there all day for free on the weekend - maybe someone else can tell you if that's the case. It's right by the U of C c-train station so it's less than a 5 minute walk to the science buildings. The Rosza centre is way down by the bus loop area I believe so it'll probably be a good 15 min walk for you. If you're willing to pay the art parkade and Lot 1 will probably do the trick...I'm assuming they're not cheap though.

There's free parking at Brentwood station if you don't mind walking like 10-15 mins.

the class is saturday and sunday, 9am-6pm each day.

i dont think i'd mind the walk from the train station, it's leaving my car there that would bother me.

Lot 10, 11, and 32 are $6 for the whole day
There are a couple others also on the weekends but I can't remember off the top of my head

I used to park at the permit lot next to the CCT building. I think that's what that building is called. It's the one connected to the Eng building. At least when I went to school there, they didn't patrol it very often. I think I parked there for 6 months before I got 1 ticket for $150. I stopped parking there after I got the ticket. Definitely worth the ticket. I think it balanced out to something like a dollar a day :rofl:

Park at the volleydome on 24th Ave its free, I used to park there all the time up until last April before grad. Never got a ticket there for 3-4 years of parking

Does "whole day" end at a certain time? 6:00 or something? Or do they make you pay all night?
