Facility Overview

Lot 39 is a centrally positioned, open-air surface parking facility situated in the heart of Downtown Toledo along North Erie Street. Designed for effortless self-parking, the lot offers a direct, street-level layout with clearly painted stalls and generous drive aisles, making navigation straightforward and stress-free. Because it is an open-air surface facility without an overhead parking deck, Lot 39 has no low vertical clearance restrictions. This open clearance makes it exceptionally accommodating for standard sedans, compact cars, high-profile SUVs, full-size pickup trucks, and taller commercial vans or utility vehicles that frequently encounter height challenges in multi-level parking garages.

Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a smooth parking experience, drivers attending sold-out Mud Hens games, Walleye matchups, or top-tier Huntington Center arena concerts should plan to arrive 30 to 45 minutes before starting time to secure a spot before peak arrivals. Make note of your stall number or vehicle license plate prior to walking toward the payment kiosk or completing payment on your smartphone. When departing after major events, routing out onto Erie Street and making an immediate link to Washington Street or the Anthony Wayne Trail can help you bypass heavy congestion clustered near the riverfront.
