Facility Overview
The 4 Park Plaza parking facility is a premier commercial parking garage and surface lot network located within the prestigious Park Place campus in the heart of the Irvine Business Complex (IBC) at 2942 Main Street, Irvine, CA. Catering to tenants, corporate visitors, business commuters, and patrons of surrounding commercial amenities, the facility offers a combination of a modern multi-level covered parking structure alongside convenient open-air surface parking spaces.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Drivers visiting during weekday morning rush hours (8:00 AM – 9:30 AM) and evening departure periods (4:30 PM – 6:00 PM) should anticipate moderate traffic around the Jamboree and Main intersection. If you are dining or conducting business at one of the retail establishments, always ask your host for parking validation to reduce or waive hourly parking rates. Oversized work vehicles and lifted trucks should utilize the ground-level perimeter surface stalls to avoid garage low-clearance structural beams. Keep your parking ticket safe or photograph your stall location number to ensure a quick and stress-free departure.
