The Toronto Raptors home arena only has a small amount of parking on site, usually reserved for VIP parking. There are, however, thousands of public parking spaces very near to the arena. In this article, let’s explore some of the most popular Toronto Raptors parking options.

These are the most common ways to get parking for Toronto Raptors games:

  • Purchase a parking spot on parking sites like ParkWhiz or SpotHero. Scotiabank Arena partners with ParkWhiz (click here to learn more).
  • Purchase a parking pass from an online ticket broker site like Ticketmaster, StubHub, or Vivid Seats (click here to learn more).
  • Find a parking lot near the arena that allows you to pay on site.
  • Use Public Transportation or Rideshare. Union Station is located conveniently against the north side of the arena.

As we discussed above, Scotiabank Arena has very limited parking on site which is typically reserved for VIP suite holders. There are thousands of public parking spaces within a short walk of the arena. These public parking spaces are not controlled by Scotiabank Arena.

Some of these public parking garages allow you to pay on site, but purchasing a parking pass in advance can really simplify things and help reduce hassle.
