Parking in Hamilton's central city
Central city parking lots
Now you can park in the central city anytime for as little as one dollar an hour, 7 days a week. Parking costs only $1 per hour for the first four hours at three of the largest and most central car parking facilities in the central city – Garden Place, Victoria on the River and Knox Street. It’s also just $1 for the first hour at the Museum, Caro Street, The Meteor theatre and Founders Theatre car parks. There’s over 700 outlets in the central city, we’re making the spaces for you to enjoy them.
On-street parking time limits restored
From 1 September, time limits have been restored for all Free Weekend parking spaces, to reduce day-long staff parking and ensure spaces are free and available for central city customers wanting to dash into town for a short trip or errand. To avoid a ticket please take note of the time limit for this space. It is displayed on either the parking meter or the street-side parking sign next to this space.

In June 2005, Hamilton City Council started using electronic devices to issue parking tickets.
