About this Location

Visitor & Driver Tips

During Oregon State University home football game weekends, graduation ceremonies, and summer waterfront festivals like the Corvallis Fall Festival, parking throughout downtown fills up briskly; arriving early in the morning or early afternoon is highly recommended. Always verify posted curb signage, fee payment requirements, or posted time allowances before heading to your destination. If traveling east toward Albany or I-5 after an evening event, exiting south via SW Western Boulevard to OR-34 allows you to bypass central downtown congestion easily.
