City Parking Information

In April 2020, the City of Portage la Prairie removed all parking meters in preparation for the implementation of our new downtown parking strategy. Effective May 1, 2020, we switched to two-hour free parking in formerly metered parking spots. This initiative will encourage more people to shop our downtown merchants and support our service providers in the future.
