Facility Overview
The Civic Center Parkade, formally known as the Evan V. Jones Parkade, is a premier multi-level parking structure located in the heart of downtown San Diego. Spanning eleven stories and offering over 1,150 parking spaces, it serves as the primary parking solution for the San Diego Civic Theatre and surrounding municipal offices.
Access, Dimensions & Clearance
The facility is designed for standard passenger vehicles. Please note the following logistical details:
- Maximum vehicle clearance: 6 feet, 8 inches.
- Main entrance: Located at 1st Avenue and B Street.
- Alternative access points are available at 2nd Avenue and A Street or 3rd Avenue and B Street, though these may experience higher congestion during peak event hours.
Parking Rates & Logistics
The parkade is operated by Ace Parking and is tailored to accommodate both daily commuters and event-goers. While base rates can vary, event parking for shows at the Civic Theatre is typically set at a flat rate (approximately $15, subject to change). It is highly recommended to allow extra time when arriving for performances due to high traffic volume.
