Wolfyre Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 First and foremost if this is not in the correct forum I apologize in advance. Me and a friend of mine will be driving from Washington state to catch the Buffalo Sabers game on December 7th. After doing some research I felt taking the Expo line to Rogers Arena would be the best however I am not sure when/if parking around King George station fills up on a game day. Has anyone done this or is there a better parking option? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I tried parking there late this summer and it was a construction zone mess. We ended up driving to Surrey Central Station (it's not that much farther). The next time we took the Skytrain, we just drove to Scott Road station. King George used to have a huge parking lot but it looks like it's all going to be high rises now, and as far as we could tell there was just one parkade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewbieCanuckFan Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Bear in mind there’s some labor negotiations stuff going on with our transit system. BOTH the bus and Skytrain workers have voted to strike and there could be some outages during the time you are here. Or even a full scale strike.

-Vintage Canuck- Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 There really is no parking options near King George Station. Scott Road Station is probably the only Skytrain station in Surrey that has lots of parking options nearby — better to park there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, never had a problem parking at Scott Road - except the first time - did’t realize that the two ends of the platform are on opposite sides of a road and that there are two separated parking lots - thought I’d lost my mind when I couldn’t find my vehicle!

Guest Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I'd recommend parking around Nanaimo skytrain station and walking a couple of blocks. Free parking and way less traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Parking at the station is fine if you get there early enough (6 - game starts at 7, for example). I've taken it a few times. It beats driving downtown if your coming right back afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonaldBrashear Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Just park in the mall parking lot (T&T supermarket?) and walk 2 blocks to King George skytrain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Canuck #12 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 HI Wolfyre. I'm not sure how helpful most of these posts have been for you, but what I can tell you is that, of the few Skytrain stations in Surrey, Scott Road does have by far the largest parking lot. It's the one that a lot of commuters coming from the Fraser Valley will use to park in for the day when the take the Skytrain downtown. I haven't parked there on a Saturday, but I'm sure there would be lots of open spots on the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfyre Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) These posts have been very helpful for it gives me a few more options to look at not to mention a good laugh ("I imagine he doesn't want to get an std or get shot."). Just checked out Scott Road and yes that does offer what I am looking for (park and ride). Thank you all for the replies and looking forward to a great game. P.S. Is The Carve any good?
