Visitor & Driver Tips
Parking rates at Lot 731 are dynamic and may fluctuate during holidays or major neighborhood events. Be prepared for potential \'event pricing\' during high-traffic seasons. If you arrive when no attendant is on duty, look for the automated pay stations to secure your spot, which often features a lower rate. Always ensure your payment receipt is clearly displayed on your dashboard if required by local signage to avoid citations. For the best experience, input \'2108 Pacific Ave\' into your GPS to be guided directly to the primary lot entrance.
