Park City, Utah — If you still want to park for free at Park City Mountain Resort, you’ll still have the chance to do so next winter. After that, it’s not so clear.
Yesterday, Park City Mountain Resort revealed its parking plan for the 2025-26 season. A large parking lot is currently under construction in Canyons Village, replacing the former Cabriolet parking lot. Guests have wondered how it will work out this winter with construction ongoing. Now, we know the answers.
Over at the Canyons Village, the surface lots that haven’t been overtaken by construction will remain open and free for this upcoming ski season. Two levels of the parking garage will be ready for vehicles in mid-December, likely helping the ski resort out for the holidays. This area will also be free and does not require reservations during the ski season. The complete parking garage is expected to open during the 2026-27 season. Free parking will also be available in Lots 1, 2, and 3. Lot 4 will cost $29 in the morning, but will be free to those arriving in the afternoon.
After that, it’s not clear whether the new parking garage will cost money. Building a parking garage doesn’t come cheap, and you have to imagine the developer (TCFC, which is the developer behind the Canyons) wants to recoup that dough.
While this could be the last year for free parking at Canyons Village, that doesn’t mean there won’t be free parking at Park City Mountain Resort. Lots like Richardson Flat, Ecker Hill, and Park City High School will likely remain free. While admittedly not the most convenient, it’s still a way to avoid paying extra.
Over at Park City Mountain, paid parking reservations ($29 per day) will remain in place in the Mountain Village, which has been the case since 2022. However, carpoolers who reserve in advance can park for free.
