Arts Commons Parkade

Underground parking is available in the Arts Commons Parkade. Enter between 9th and 8th Avenues SE from the far-left lane of Northbound Macleod Trail. If the Arts Commons Parkade is full, City Hall Parkade is a good alternative and it's connected by +15 walkway.

Repairs to the Arts Commons Parkade: Due to improvements to the Arts Commons Parkade being conducted by the City of Calgary, there will be sections of P1 closed.

Additional Parking

Due to renovations of the Glenbow Museum, the +15 walkway connecting Arts Commons to the Calgary Telus Convention Centre/Glenbow Museum is closed. This will affect patrons parking at the Palliser Hotel and Telus Convention Centre who wish to use the +15 walkways to enter Arts Commons. We apologize for the inconvenience.
