About this Location

Facility Overview

The 45 E 7th Ave Garage, situated at 750 Oak Street in the heart of Downtown Eugene, Oregon, is a combined subterranean and surface parking facility offering approximately 131 designated parking stalls. Integrated into the vibrant urban core near the historic Tiffany building and commercial corridors, the structure provides a clean, well-lit, and functional parking layout for commuters, residents, and visitors alike. Vehicle suitability accommodates standard passenger vehicles, compact cars, crossovers, and mid-size SUVs across both levels.
