About this Location

Facility Overview

The 801-899 High St Parking facility is a conveniently situated downtown surface parking lot located on the east edge of the Downtown Eugene commercial core. Positioned between East 8th Avenue and East 8th/9th Alley along High Street, this open-air parking facility features straightforward ingress, generous stall dimensions, and unobstructed maneuverability. Because it operates as an outdoor surface lot without an overhead deck structure, there are no vertical clearance restrictions or low-hanging clearance bars, making it an excellent parking choice for tall vehicles such as full-size pickup trucks, commercial vans, high-roof SUVs, and vehicles equipped with roof cargo boxes or bicycle racks.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Situated in the heart of Eugene\'s cultural and civic corridor, this facility offers immediate walking access to key downtown landmarks, entertainment venues, and dining establishments:
