Facility Overview
Situated in the heart of Downtown Perris, 121 S C St Parking provides convenient, accessible open-air surface parking in a revitalized historic district. The parking facility is designed to serve local commercial patrons, municipal visitors, and commuters traveling through western Riverside County. Because the lot is configured as a level, open-air surface lot without covered decks or ceiling beams, it provides virtually unlimited vertical clearance. This makes the location exceptionally well-suited for full-size pickup trucks, passenger vans, large commercial work vehicles, and high-profile SUVs that cannot enter standard height-restricted parking garages.
