If you ride a bike to the studio, mat hire is free!  And we have bike racks on the side of our building for you.  The bike racks on the ground at the Victoria St end of the building are also available for your use.

But we know that some of you are coming from a distance and need to drive a car. There is plenty of on-street parking in Victoria St, and some on Salisbury St, just outside of the studio.  It has a 1 hour limit between 9am and 5pm, but that is not frequently enforced.  Montreal Street is also well-served with street parks, some two hours in duration and for payment, some unlimited as to duration and free.

The Casino carpark on Peterborough Street has the first hour free and $3 per hour after that.  There is plenty of free one hour parking in Conference and Beveridge Streets, one and two blocks to the north of the studio respectively.

If you’re prepared to walk 3-5 minutes from a car-park to the studio, there is quite a bit of free on-street parking between the studio and Hagley Park, and in the “Playground Parking” in Hagley Park.

There are various other off-street car-parking options available – see the map on the Christchurch City Council website.

If you have problems getting a car-park, tell the City Council.  The Council’s strategy and planning has created the shortage of car-parks and they need to hear your feedback.
