This measure aims to reduce congestion and ensure free parking spaces for:

- From November 15 to March 31, holders of a Gatineau Park winter season pass: presentation of the pass and a photo ID is required for registration. Registration begins November 15 and is valid for the season, expiring on April 1
- Other partner clients with a valid agreement with Relais Plein Air (registration of license plate required at reception, unless otherwise indicated; certain conditions apply)
Persons with disabilities displaying a valid accessible parking permit may park free of charge in designated spaces for up to 4 hours per visit. No registration required.
This measure also supports the mission of Relais Plein Air, a non-profit and charitable organization dedicated to making outdoor activities accessible to all.
Thank you for your collaboration and understanding.
Priority parking – authorization required
To ensure fair use of priority parking spaces, access is restricted to authorized personnel only. Anyone wishing to use one of these parking areas must report to reception and leave their driver's license in exchange for an authorization card, which must be clearly displayed in their vehicle. This system allows our team to maintain fair control during peak periods. A ticket may be issued for parking without a visible card.
Note that Skinouk members and seasonal pass holders do not have access to these spaces.
