Facility Overview
The Brentwood City Hall Parking Garage—also known as the Brentwood Civic Center Parking Structure—is a modern, four-story municipal parking facility situated in the heart of downtown Brentwood, California. Designed as an integral component of the LEED Silver-certified Brentwood Civic Center complex, this multi-deck garage comprises approximately 113,000 square feet and provides 280 dedicated parking spaces. The structure features covered parking across its lower tiers alongside an open-air rooftop deck, linked by wide vehicular ramps, clear instructional signage, and an ADA-compliant elevator and stair tower. Standard passenger vehicles, sedans, crossovers, minivans, and full-size personal pickup trucks navigate the facility with ease. Drivers of high-roof conversion vans, oversized commercial utility trucks, or vehicles carrying tall rooftop accessories should verify posted clearance limits at the garage entrance or utilize adjacent surface stalls.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Strategically positioned at the junction of City Park Way and Oak Street, this garage offers immediate access to the civic and social epicenters of East Contra Costa County. Brentwood City Hall, the City Council Chambers, and the 32,000-square-foot Brentwood Community Center are just steps away. Adjacent to the garage is the vibrant 2.7-acre Brentwood City Park, celebrated for its open turf, children's play zones, summer water play splash park, and the beloved seasonal Concerts in the Park series. Visitors are within a comfortable 2 to 5-minute stroll of Downtown Brentwood's historic dining and boutique shopping corridor along First Street and Oak Street, home to favorite local eateries, craft breweries, family-owned cafes, and the bustling year-round Saturday Brentwood Farmers Market. The facility also provides convenient overflow parking for events at neighboring Liberty High School and the Brentwood Public Library.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
The garage provides intuitive street-level ingress and egress from City Park Way, facilitating smooth movement away from heavily trafficked thoroughfares. Automated real-time count systems and safety barrier gates help regulate traffic flow during peak hours and major downtown gatherings. For regional travelers, the garage connects seamlessly to State Route 4 (SR-4 / Brentwood Bypass) via Balfour Road or Sand Creek Road, enabling swift commutes across the Bay Area and Central Valley. Public transit riders can easily access several Tri Delta Transit bus stops situated along Brentwood Boulevard and Oak Street, which provide direct local connector services to the Antioch BART Station and neighboring Delta communities.

Visitor & Driver Tips
While public parking is free of charge, be aware of overnight garage access regulations: the facility is secured during late-night off-hours (generally closed between 10:00 PM and 5:00 AM Sunday through Thursday, and between 12:00 AM midnight and 5:00 AM on Friday and Saturday, except during permitted city special events). For major community occasions—such as summer music concerts, the annual Hometown Halloween, and holiday tree lighting ceremonies—spaces fill rapidly; plan to arrive 30 to 45 minutes before event start times. EV drivers should note that charging stations require a ChargePoint account or contactless payment method for electricity consumption, and charging stalls carry active session time limits to ensure fair turnover for other motorists.
