Off-Street Parking

Off-street parking provides convenient parking in a protected location. Nearly three-quarters of all off-street spaces are located in decks. The remainder are in parking lots. There are now more than 2,300 off-street parking spaces.

  • Over 2,200 spaces are in two parking decks:
    • 4th and Church
    • 6th and Cherry
  • The Park and Stroll Program promotes shopping and commerce in the downtown area by selling discount stamps for lower hourly parking rates. The city's public parking decks honor Park and Stroll stamps.
  • At most facilities, hourly rates are $1, with a $9 maximum per day.
  • Third-party billing for special event parking is available.
