Parking at NVCA's conservation areas

You can use a credit card or debit visa to pay for parking through HotSpot.

If purchasing a pass from the NVCA administration office, you can pay by debit, cash or credit card. Over the phone purchases through the NVCA administration office do require a credit card. ​

NVCA’s enforcement staff have tools that use your license plate to determine if you have paid for parking. To avoid a ticket, it is important that you select the vehicle you are currently driving when paying for a parking session, and make sure there are no typos when you enter the license plate information. ​

You can switch the vehicle license plate number from the HotSpot website​
