About this Location

Overview & Suitability

There is no specific parking facility officially named "Manny's Parking" located at 228 Southwest Blvd. However, this address is in the immediate vicinity of Manny's Mexican Restaurant (located at 207 Southwest Blvd), a landmark in the Crossroads Arts District of Kansas City. Visitors to this area primarily utilize nearby public surface lots and on-street parking to access local dining and entertainment venues. These facilities are designed for standard passenger vehicles; there are no dedicated facilities for oversized RVs or long-term vehicle storage at this specific location.

Access, Dimensions & Clearance

Parking in the Crossroads district consists primarily of open-air surface lots and street-side parking. Most surface lots in this area do not have height restrictions, making them accessible to standard SUVs and pickup trucks. Drivers should be aware that Southwest Boulevard and the surrounding Crossroads streets are high-traffic areas, and navigating into small, independent surface lots can be tight during peak dining hours or event days.

Parking Rates, Tariffs & Booking

Parking rates in the Crossroads/Westside area are variable. While some on-street parking is metered, off-street surface lots typically start around $3.00 to $6.00 per hour depending on proximity to major venues. Visitors are encouraged to use mobile parking platforms like SpotHero, ParkMobile, or ParkWhiz to secure reservations in advance, which is highly recommended during busy evenings and weekends when local venues draw large crowds.

Security & Amenities

Most parking lots in the Crossroads district are self-service. While some may feature basic lighting, they generally lack onsite staffing or gated security. Users are advised to adhere to posted signage regarding hours of operation and payment methods, which are often handled via mobile apps (e.g., "pay-by-plate" or "text-to-pay" systems) to ensure a cashless transaction.

Strategic Alternative

This area serves as a primary hub for visitors heading to the Crossroads Arts District, Union Station, and the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts. Because street parking is limited and competitive, utilizing pre-booked surface lots near the 200 block of Southwest Boulevard is the most reliable strategy for those dining at local establishments or attending events in downtown Kansas City.
