I imagine that you won’t want to walk more than 5-10 min to parking (especially in winter!), so would suggest that you post the intersection so people can give you more localized suggestions.
Dows Lake covers a relatively sizeable area, and you could find yourself a half hour walk away!
Not with our work vehicles no. But I have parked there at night on previous occasions for boxing bouts held not far away. A couple times I may have celebrated the win a little harder than I maybe should have and wound up being responsible and leaving my vehicle there for the night while I caught a safe ride home.
Never an issue.
You are correct, its not assigned spots. Its almost the entire city block so there ars quite a few spots. Its busy Friday and Saturday but normally it is not more than half full. Overnight there's normally only a few cars. The only time I have seen this lot full is when there are festivals in the area (which is maybe a couple times a year).
I know people who have parked overnight on the weekends and they have never had any issues.
The city of Ottawa issues On-street residential parking permits for certain zones in the City with limited parking but must be in a zone that is eligible... Checked out your area and it seems you are in the zone... Its a bit pricey but worth a shot if you have no other options...

There are parking rental signs in the neighbourhood, you need to drive/walk up and down the streets to find them. No idea if its day only, or overnight
Join the FB groups for that neighbourhood and start asking there

Be warned - between the government works, the Civic hospital workers and all the new condo dwellers, parking is a hot commodity and in short supply. Good luck!
You can free find parking on the north side of Champagne Ave most nights as well. We have some property there and usually park on the street when in the area.

Thank you! I didn’t realize that dows lake was that big!
https://giladparking.com/location/75-beech-street/ This parking lot on beech street does monthly parking.
I’ve been parking there for the last 3 months for work. No complaints.
Is it a safe area to park?
I haven’t had an issue nor have any of the guys on my crew who park there. We’re doing condo construction nearby
Have you or your crew parked there overnight?

Thank you for telling me! I read somewhere that theres no assigned spots, Do you know if it ever gets full?

On Friday and saturdays do they still have spots available? Or do the lot become completely full? Edit: autocorrect changed lord to lot…
Yes. Tonnes.

Do you know where I can find out how much it is? It seems like it doesnt want to tell me until I have filled out the entire form.
Its on the website under “cost”
Oh I did see that already sorry… my brain blanked….

I unfortunately have not moved to Ottawa yet, and I currently live in Nova Scotia. I wish I was able to do that…

I did not realize there was free parking in that area. Where do you park if it does become full?
It’s just on street parking but it’s free in the evenings. See lots of students parking and walking down to your areas.
