The Ottawa Senators play their home games during the NHL season at Canadian Tire Centre. To avoid parking troubles when you arrive for an event at this venue, use the guide below.
This detailed Canadian Tire Centre parking tips guide offers detailed parking information, including:
- The best official Canadian Tire Centre parking lots
- Third-party parking lots near Canadian Tire Centre that can be booked in advance
- Areas to look for free parking in Ottawa

It’s no fun to drive around an arena looking for parking when you’d rather be inside having a great time. We hope the information below helps you avoid such a fate during your next trip to the Canadian Tire Centre.
Official Canadian Tire Centre Parking Lots
There is ample parking on-site at Canadian Tire Centre in various official lots. If you are driving to a game at this venue, using the official parking will likely be your best bet.
Main Parking Lots
Numbers from 1 – 9 identify the main parking lots on the property of Canadian Tire Centre. As the numbers increase, the lots generally get farther away from the arena, with Lot 9 being the farthest away from the venue. With that said, even that lot isn’t very far from the gates, so parking anywhere on the property will leave you with an easy walk.
The prices for parking at Canadian Tire Centre are relatively reasonable compared to some other venues across North America. For hockey games, the lowest prices are $20, while the cheapest lots for concerts will cost you $25. If you’d like to get closer, such as in Lot 1, you will spend around $40.
Premium Parking Lots
If you’d like a premium parking experience, a valet service is available for a higher price. However, the valet service has limited availability, and you’ll need to arrive early to secure a spot.
EV Parking at Canadian Tire Centre
There are some charging stations around Canadian Tire Centre if you need to add juice to your electric vehicle. With that said, we’d suggest not counting on being able to charge up when you get here just because of how busy the area will be and how many other EV drivers might be waiting for a charge.
Make it a point to charge ahead so you can enjoy your time without worrying about looking for power.
Accessible Parking Spaces
The accessible parking on the property of the Canadian Tire Centre can be found in Lot 3. This lot offers convenient access to Gate 3 of the arena, so anyone with mobility limitations should be able to get in and out of the venue without any trouble.
Third-Party Parking Options at Canadian Tire Centre
You won’t find any third-party parking options on SpotHero for attending events at Canadian Tire Centre. Although SpotHero is an excellent tool for parking in many places, you’ll have to take another approach when heading to this venue.
Free Parking at Canadian Tire Centre
The problem with free parking near Canadian Tire Centre is that the official parking lots take up the property immediately surrounding the venue, so parking elsewhere would require you to make a long walk to the venue. While there is an outlet mall across the highway from the arena, the parking there is for customers, and you risk a tow or ticket if you leave your vehicle there to walk across to the venue.
Public Transportation to Canadian Tire Centre
If you don’t want to pay for on-site parking, or if you don’t want to drive your own vehicle, public transportation can be a suitable alternative. For that, look to the services offered by OC Transpo to make the trip comfortable and for a low price.
You should be looking for Routes 404 and 405 to get to the Canadian Tire Centre. These routes are operated specifically when events are going on, such as hockey games and concerts, so you should have little trouble finding a seat and getting where you need to go.
Ridesharing to Canadian Tire Centre
If you will use a rideshare service to get to Canadian Tire Centre, you can be dropped off on Frank Finnigan Way in front of Gate 1. This same area can be used for pick-ups after the game or event has ended, although you might have to wait quite a while and pay a premium depending on demand for services like Uber and Lyft.
