Parking at the University of Alberta
All attendees should park in one of the recommended locations on campus, found on our parking page. Event parking will not be permitted in the neighbourhood surrounding the school – those that do park in restricted areas run the risk of being tagged/towed. No public tournament parking will be permitted within William Hawrelak Park and only ride share/pickup & dropoff are permitted at the park.
Park Access
Public access to William Hawrelak Park will be maintained throughout the duration of the tournament. While the CPKC Women’s Open will utilize a portion of the park to support tournament operations, including a section of the main parking lot and select areas adjacent to the golf course for temporary tournament infrastructure, the park itself will remain open and accessible for day-to-day recreational use.
Visitors will continue to have access to the park’s pathways, green spaces, and other amenities throughout tournament week. Tournament staff and signage will be in place to help direct both park users and event attendees, ensuring safe and efficient movement throughout the area while minimizing impacts on regular park activities.
Please note that parking will not be available at Emily Murphy Park from August 17–23, as the parking lot will be reserved exclusively for tournament operations, including event parking, deliveries and operational support.
Parking & Shuttles
