A park assist system includes a controller that executes park assist control with which a vehicle is automatically parked in a parking spot. The controller is configured to set a point at a position higher than the vehicle and across the vehicle from the parking spot as a viewpoint used to generate the parking spot image, set an angle according to a parking spot distance that is an actual distance between the vehicle and a parking spot shown by the parking spot image as a depression angle used to generate the parking spot image, generate a parking spot image by using the set viewpoint and depression angle, cause a display device to display the parking spot image, and park the vehicle with the park assist control in a parking spot set by the driver as a target parking spot by way of viewing the parking spot image.

The parking assist apparatus comprises an ECU. When the ECU recognizes a perpendicular-parallel parking possible space to which a vehicle can not only be perpendicularly parked from a parking start position but also be parallelly parked from the parking start position, the ECU is configured to display any one of a first perpendicular-parallel parking space selection button and a second perpendicular-parallel parking space selection button in such a manner that one of the buttons is superimposed on the perpendicular-parallel parking possible space.
