Pumphouse Parking Suggestions
Although the Pumphouse is conveniently located a very short distance from a major Ottawa transit hub called LeBreton Station and easily accessible on the National Capital Commission (NCC) bike path, we recognized that many will be looking to park a vehicle during Nationals near the venue.
Below is a Google Maps link that shows 4 options for parking. Anytime after 4:30pm on weekdays and all weekend long, #4 below should be where you park since it is free, close to the venue and has abundant parking. Business hours are trickier, option #2 is a free option where you can park for the day and a short walk to the venue.

Locations
#1 - Wellington Street east side just north of Scott - You can park for 2 hours but space is very limited.
#2 - Victoria Island. The National Capital Commission (NCC) has approved parking on Victoria Island just east of the Vertical Reality parking for free. Vertical Reality is a climbing gym on the Island and we have been asked to park east of their parking lot. Do not park in their parking or you risk being ticketed and/or towed.
#3 - Metered parking on Wellington around the War Museum.
