About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of downtown Youngstown, Ohio, 25 W Boardman St Parking offers a dependable, centrally positioned open-air surface parking facility. Located along West Boardman Street between Market Street and South Hazel Street, the lot provides immediate access to the city\'s civic, legal, and entertainment core. Because this facility is an outdoor surface lot, it offers completely open headroom with zero overhead clearance restrictions. This open layout makes it an outstanding choice not only for standard sedans and compact cars, but also for full-size pickup trucks, large SUVs, commercial utility vehicles, and passenger vans that cannot fit into standard multi-level garages.
