The $5 is a suggested donation, not a parking fee. The official site says the car park is open even on days when the centre is closed, so it is not limited to facility users. No maximum free stay is stated; instead, opening is given as sunrise to sunset. Coordinates are from the OpenStreetMap car park polygon (next to the building at 229-10 Northern Boulevard).
“Parking and entrance to the building and grounds is free, but we do have a suggested donation of $5 per person.”
