Downtown provides multiple options including convenient street parking for a short stay, covered parking for those days you just don’t want to get out in the weather and surface parking lots – both long and short term. Here is a quick overview of the types of parking available in downtown.

Transportation Options

Parking Signs: Look for parking signs. They will tell you if you can park in that location, how long you can park there, and during what hours you are allowed to park.

Meters and restricted parking areas around Century II and the Library are enforced seven days a week until 11pm with the exception of holidays. Don’t feed the meter.
