About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of downtown Youngstown, Ohio, the 11 W Front St Parking facility provides convenient, accessible open-air surface parking for visitors, business professionals, and event attendees. Located at the corner of West Front Street and South Market Street, this well-positioned lot features clear ground layout markings, wide drive aisles, and straightforward maneuverability.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When attending high-profile concerts at the Covelli Centre or major seasonal events at Wean Park, plan to arrive at least 30 to 45 minutes prior to start time to secure your spot before surrounding surface lots fill up. Have your smartphone ready to pay via the posted digital payment instructions or mobile app immediately upon parking to ensure valid coverage and avoid ticketing. When leaving downtown after an event, heading directly west along Front Street or south across the Market Street Bridge offers a quick alternative to avoid delays around Central Square.
