About this Location

Facility Overview

The Broadway Place South Parking Garage is a premier multi-level structured parking facility centrally located at 900–946 Charnelton Street in the heart of Downtown Eugene, Oregon. Positioned between West Broadway and West 10th Avenue, this covered municipal deck offers abundant, weather-protected parking for commuters, shoppers, students, and culture enthusiasts alike. The garage features wide driving aisles, intuitive floor transitions, and clearly marked stalls. It comfortably accommodates standard compacts, sedans, crossovers, and mid-sized SUVs. Standard full-size pickup trucks and SUVs can navigate the ramps with care, though drivers should observe the posted vehicle height clearance of approximately 7 feet (84 inches). Overheight commercial vehicles, lifted off-road trucks, and high-roof conversion vans should seek surface parking alternatives in the downtown core.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Drivers visiting during weekday business hours should check current City of Eugene parking promotions, as municipal garages frequently offer the first hour of parking free of charge. When attending high-profile events or weekend sellouts at the McDonald Theatre, arrive at least 30 to 45 minutes prior to curtain call to secure optimal lower-level parking and avoid brief egress queues. Remember to note your stall level and column letter upon exiting the elevator. If you are operating a full-size vehicle, consider parking on upper rooftop decks where headroom is limitless and space maneuvering is easiest.
