Overnight Parking

King Township has road safety and responsible celebrating top of mind ahead of the winter holiday season. Overnight parking on Township streets and at municipally-operated facilities – including all community centres, arenas and libraries in King City, Nobleton and Schomberg – will be permitted on the following days: 

  • Wednesday, Dec. 24 (Christmas Eve) 
  • Thursday, Dec. 25 (Christmas Day) 
  • Wednesday, Dec. 31 (New Year’s Eve) 
  • Thursday, Jan. 1 (New Year’s Day) 

In light of this, parking tickets will not be issued on the above dates.  

This means that winter parking restrictions, which prohibit on-street parking between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m to allow for snow clearing, will not be enforced on these days.  Additionally, on-street parking permits traditionally required for overnight guests will not be required on these days. We kindly request that the public be courteous and avoid blocking driveways or parking in prohibited fire routes. 

However, in the event of any road or sidewalk winter maintenance, residents and visitors are reminded that they assume the risk of on-street parking as King’s snow removal crew(s) will be required to plow roads and sidewalks as best possible and unfortunately, will not be able to treat assets that are obstructed.  The Township is not liable for any inconvenience(s) caused to vehicles parked within the public right of way during servicing.
