Paid Parking
Starting September 1, 2022, paid parking is being introduced at the ENMAX Centre as a fair and equitable way to generate revenue from users (both local and visitors) and to reduce the ENMAX Centre's reliance on support from Lethbridge taxpayers. The implementation of paid parking was a recommendation from the City of Lethbridge's third party operational review in 2019 and approved by City Council April 26, 2022.
NOTE: Event parking cannot be accessed until AFTER 4PM Monday thru Friday and anytime Saturday thru Sunday.
What does this mean for me?
Events include (but not limited to) concerts, cultural & entertainment, graduations, tradeshow or sport*:
- Event parking is in effect Weekdays 4:00 pm to midnight and all day on Weekends
-
If there is an event held on the statutory date, the regular parking fee of $5.00 per vehicle will apply on that date.
- Cost is a flat rate of $5.00 per vehicle/day
What happens if the event I am attending is multi-day?
- The rate is still $5.00 per vehicle/day unless specified otherwise
If I have a Hurricane Season Ticket Holder Pass, do I still have to pay for parking?
- Yes. Parking passes are ONLY VALID for the regular and playoff home games and NOT ENMAX Centre Events (eg: Concerts).
*Subject to change
- Season Ticket Holders - In working with the Lethbridge Hurricanes Hockey Club for the past several months, it was decided that Hurricanes' season ticket holders would be exempt from paying to park at ENMAX Centre. This decision was made to help lessen the impact on the Hurricanes' organization. Season Ticket Holders will receive a parking pass to identify that their vehicle is “paid” for the upcoming 2022/2023 season. Season ticket holders will receive one parking pass per associated Ticket Centre account. Limitations and exceptions may apply.
- It is the responsibility of the parking pass holder to ensure the parking pass is visible
- Lost/Stolen/Destroyed Passes will not be replaced.
- Playoff Games: Parking passes from the 2022/2023 regular season will extend into Playoff games for no additional fee, if applicable.
- Parking passes are ONLY VALID for the regular and playoff home games and NOT ENMAX Centre Events (eg: Concerts).
- Please note: There are no designated parking areas for pass holders.
- Non Season Ticket Holders – cost is a flat rate of $5.00 per vehicle
If there is a game held on the statutory date, the regular parking fee of $5.00 per vehicle will apply on that date.

Why are you making students pay now when they have always got free parking?
- Students already have to pay for parking on the LC campus (and at the University of Lethbridge). The fee structure will be similar to campus in providing a daily, weekly, monthly, and semester rates.
- The ENMAX Centre parking lots have been used as an overflow area, and in other cases to avoid charges. Those students who can't afford parking would have the opportunity to use Lethbridge Transit, which may be a more affordable option.
How are you communicating this to Lethbridge College?
- We have been in contact with the Communications Department at the Lethbridge College to ensure this information is shared with their students and is included in the new student package this fall. There will also be signage installed informing ENMAX Centre parkers of this change.
- Your ENMAX Centre representative will be in contact with you directly.

- 2 located inside ENMAX Centre; one on each side of the main doors
- Accepted methods of payment at the Parking Kiosks:

- We encourage you to pay using the Flowbird app and pay online – super easy!!*
- No. Once you have entered your license plate number at the Kiosk or on the Flowbird app you are good to go!
- If you have been provided a pass/permit, this must be displayed in your front window to avoid a parking ticket.
Park in the designated "Ticket Pick-Up" zone in front of the South Country Co-op Ticket Centre. It allows you 15 minutes and you don't have to pay for parking.
You do not need to pay for parking as long as you are not staying.
We know this change will take some getting used to. Enforcement will not start immediately when the event starts so you’ll have time to get to your seat. Here are a few helpful tips.
- Arrive a bit earlier than usual, particularly when this new system launches.
- Download the Flowbird app so you don’t have to wait in line at a kiosk. Find your seat and conveniently pay online.
- Know your license plate number as it will be required at either the kiosk or in setting up the app.
Although we do not anticipate a significant change once paid parking is implemented, we are aware that residential parking in this area has been a concern for many years for both ENMAX Centre visitors and Lethbridge College students.
