About this Location

Facility Overview

The 375 E 7th Ave Parking lot (commonly recognized locally as the Goodtimes Lot / E764) is a centrally positioned, open-air surface parking facility in Downtown Eugene, Oregon. Situated along East 7th Avenue between High Street and Pearl Street, this asphalt lot provides convenient and flexible parking just steps away from the historic core and vibrant shopping corridors. Because it is an outdoor surface parking lot, there are no overhead structural height restrictions, making it an excellent parking choice for high-roof commercial vans, lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, and standard passenger vehicles that typically struggle with clearance in multi-level parking garages.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Located on the northern flank of downtown Eugene, this lot puts drivers within effortless walking distance of some of the city\'s most popular cultural, dining, and scenic destinations:

5th Street Public Market (4-minute walk): Located just three blocks away, this premier shopping, dining, and boutique hotel hub features local artisan eateries, tasting rooms, and high-end retail.
Skinner Butte Park & Columns (8-minute walk): Eugene’s iconic riverfront recreation area offers hiking trails, panoramic city views from the summit, and open green spaces along the Willamette River.

University of Oregon Campus (approx. 1.2 miles): A short bike ride, transit trip, or brisk walk eastward down Franklin Boulevard.

Drivers approaching from Interstate 5 can take Exit 194B toward I-105 W / OR-126 W, exiting onto Coburg Road or 6th/7th Avenue for direct, seamless access.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Because East 7th Avenue is a one-way westbound street, drivers should position themselves in the left lane as they approach High Street to make a clean turn into the facility. During peak dining hours on Friday and Saturday evenings, as well as during sunny weekend market days, spaces can fill quickly—arriving early ensures easier maneuvering. Remember to clearly display your payment receipt on your vehicle dashboard if required by on-site signage or enter your license plate accurately when using the mobile pay system.
