Facility Overview
The City of Eugene Parking Services Epark facility at 99 W 10th Ave represents one of the most accessible and well-maintained parking structures in the heart of Downtown Eugene. Known locally as the Overpark Garage—which also houses the administrative customer service center for Eugene Parking Services—this multi-level covered structure offers sheltered, structured parking designed to support local commerce, government offices, and entertainment venues. The facility features marked standard parking stalls, designated ADA accessible spaces, and dedicated motorcycle and bicycle facilities. Standard passenger cars, crossovers, and compact SUVs navigate the garage with ease. Drivers of full-size pickup trucks, extended SUVs, and high-roof commercial vans should note the posted vertical clearance limit (typically 6 feet 8 inches) and consider utilizing upper open-air levels or nearby surface lots if operating oversized vehicles.

Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a seamless visit, remember that the City of Eugene frequently offers the first hour of parking free in downtown garages, but you must still register your license plate at the pay station or via the mobile app upon arrival. When attending sold-out shows at the McDonald Theatre, plan to arrive 30 to 45 minutes prior to showtime to secure lower-level spots and avoid post-concert departure delays. Remember your parking level and stall zone, and take advantage of the elevator towers located at the garage corners for smooth pedestrian access.
