WestSide has 7 car parks within easy walking distance of every shop on the strip — free options, paid by the hour, all-day spots, and private leased parking for those settling in long term. The map and list below breaks down every option so you never circle the block twice. And for the shortcut regulars swear by, read The WestSide Parking Cheat Code... the side streets carry the real parking, and Queen St Carpark hides a laneway straight to the 300 block.
