About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the bustling heart of downtown Peoria, the 419 Fulton St Parking facility offers convenient, central off-street parking for visitors, downtown workers, and event attendees. Configured as an open-air surface parking lot, this facility provides straightforward navigation with clearly marked bays and spacious driving aisles. Because it is an outdoor grade-level lot with no overhead barriers or height restrictions, it offers unrestricted vertical clearance. This makes it an ideal choice not only for standard sedans and compact cars, but also for full-size pickup trucks, large SUVs, conversion vans, and passenger vehicles equipped with roof racks or cargo carriers that typically struggle in low-clearance parking garages.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

The lot boasts an enviable central location just steps from Peoria\'s primary civic, cultural, and entertainment hubs. Located along Fulton Street between SW Adams Street and SW Jefferson Avenue, this parking area puts you within minutes of numerous downtown landmarks:

Visitor & Driver Tips

During marquee concerts, arena tours, or sold-out Bradley basketball games at the Peoria Civic Center, downtown parking fills quickly. Drivers are encouraged to arrive 30 to 45 minutes prior to scheduled start times to secure a prime stall and avoid post-event traffic congestion. When paying at the on-site automated terminal or through the mobile parking app, remember to input your license plate number accurately to ensure valid parking credentials without needing to return to your dashboard.
