When people are looking for a place to park their vehicle when visiting Downtown Langley, the first place that most people look is along the Fraser Highway One-Way. During certain parts of the day, finding a spot on the One-Way can be tricky. While there is also on-street parking available on 56th Avenue and Douglas Crescent, there are a few parking areas that many people are unaware can be used.
The Downtown Langley Business Association provides a map of all parking that is available in the Downtown core.

The first area where parking is available is at the Timms Community Centre/City Hall. You can park for up to 3 hours while visiting the Downtown core.
The other “secret” parking area is between 56th Avenue and Fraser Highway, just west of 206th Street. Many people believe that this is a paid-only parking lot or is a private parking lot. While there is some paid parking, there is also free 3-hour parking as well.

Over the past few years, I’ve told people about these two parking options. Many people were surprised that they were available for general parking use when visiting Downtown Langley. Hopefully now that this information is shared, it will also be useful for more people. These parking options are a few minutes walk to the One-Way, and will save time, reducing the need to hunt for a parking spot.

This is true but A number of years ago this lot at 206 and 56 was quite a hot topic in the local papers as people enjoying a night at the pub(one piticuler New Year’s Eve) left their vehicles there and caught cabs home doing the responsible thing only too return the next morning too parking tickets. Unless things have changed if you leave your vehicle there over night you may risk the same fate people should be aware of this.
Such an irrelevant comment to the topic.
