Due to its open-air nature, the lot is highly suitable for a wide variety of vehicles, including standard passenger cars, large pickup trucks, and full-size SUVs.

Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a stress-free parking experience, it is recommended to arrive early during business hours, as spaces in this high-demand district can fill up quickly. Always double-check on-site signage for current parking rates and specific time limits or enforcement hours. If you are visiting for an event at a nearby venue like the KiMo Theatre, we suggest checking for any special event parking rates or local restrictions in effect on that day. Using GPS navigation to the specific address will guide you directly to the entrance, but please remain observant of one-way street signage common in the downtown area.
