Overnight parking solution in town?

Hello! I am traveling with a group who are doing the Maligne Lake backpacking trip, but I am not because I need to leave town early. I'm going to drive my friend's van around for a couple of days while they're hiking and then hopefully leave it in Jasper town for them to pick up. Ideally I would leave it in town on Saturday morning and catch my bus to Calgary and then they would pick it up Sunday when they're back from the hike (they have another van for transpo).

I know that overnight parking is illegal and heavily monitored. Are there any legal options that are in town, like private lots or similar? I know that I could book a campsite overnight and they could drive to it, but I will need to get from wherever I park it to Jasper town to catch my bus. Another option I'm thinking is to park at a (paid for) campground and catch a ride into town on Saturday, but I'd like to avoid too many moving parts and pieces if possible. Any other creative solutions?
