Calgary Parking

Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating Eid al‑Adha and gathering with family, friends and neighbours.

This morning, many Calgarians will attend Eid al-Adha prayers at mosques across the city. Streets near these locations may be busier, with limited parking available.

If you are driving, please give yourself extra time, be patient with others and follow these tips to help keep everyone moving safely:

✅ Follow all parking signs
🚫 Do not park in business lots or on private property
🌱 Do not park on boulevards
🚗 Do not double park or block driveways
🚒 Park 5 metres (car length) away from fire hydrants

Our Parking Safety & Compliance officers will be out supporting safe access around places of worship and nearby residential streets so everyone can focus on their celebrations and get home safely.

🏃 Ready. Set. Go! The Calgary Marathon starts tomorrow, May 23 & 24.

Our team will be out overnight clearing the route and making sure the roads are safe and open for the racers!

Here's what you need to know before tomorrow morning.

Parking bans are in effect from 3 a.m. both days across multiple neighbourhoods along the marathon route. If your vehicle is on a street with a parking ban past 3 a.m., it will be towed.

✅ Check the full ban list at calgaryparking.com/marathon
✅ Move your car tonight if you're near the route
✅ Plan extra time if you're driving anywhere near the course this weekend
✅ Follow all parking and traffic signs

We’re proud to support this event each year and help make this race safe for runners, spectators and the whole city. 🏅🏃💚

Calgary Marathon parking safety updates and road closures

🚸 Don’t be a parking bully: blocking a driveway near a school might feel like a quick stop, but it can quickly disrupt someone else’s day.

Imagine a neighbour ready to head out—for work, an appointment or school pick up—only to find their driveway blocked and the street already busy with families and kids; a small choice can create real stress and safety concerns, so please leave driveways clear.

Blocking a driveway near a school isn't just unsafe and rude, it's parking like a bully.

During school pick-up and drop-off times, our School Patrol teams travel to schools across the city and talk with drivers, explain the rules and enforce them when needed.
