Convenient Access and Parking at Creekside for Whistler Blackcomb
Whistler Blackcomb has three main access points: Blackcomb, Whistler Village, and Creekside Gondola. If you’re driving from Vancouver, Creekside is the closest entry point and offers free parking, unlike Whistler Village, where only two lots are free, and they fill up quickly unless you arrive very early.
Creekside Parkade has four levels: the ground level is for oversized vehicles and drop-offs, while P1, P2, and P3 are indoor levels. On weekends, P1 is reserved for carpool vehicles with at least four people. During peak season, finding a spot after 9:00 AM is tough. If it’s full, you’ll likely end up in P3, and leaving in the afternoon can sometimes take 30 to 40 minutes due to traffic. Despite this, parking at Creekside saves about 20 minutes compared to Whistler Village when leaving the slopes in the afternoon. Plus, the parking lot is very close to the gondola station.

I went on a Friday and left at 2 PM to avoid any rush. The lot is a bit confusing as the first left turn is actually level two. If it is your first time parking here, take a pick of your spot and level so you know...
