About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the vibrant heart of historic Old Town Temecula, the Paid Public Parking lot at 28670 Old Town Front Street provides convenient vehicle accommodation for tourists, diners, shoppers, and regional travelers. This facility operates as an outdoor, open-air surface parking lot directly fronting Old Town Front Street. Because it is completely open without overhead barriers or a low-clearance parking garage deck, it comfortably accommodates a wide variety of passenger vehicles, including standard compacts, full-size sedans, lifted pickup trucks, high-roof conversion vans, and large SUVs that typically face height constraints in multi-level parking structures.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Old Town Front Street experiences elevated vehicular and pedestrian traffic on Friday and Saturday evenings, as well as during weekend festivals and holidays. Arriving earlier in the day or before 5:00 PM on weekends ensures easier spot selection. Be sure to note your license plate number upon parking, as pay-by-plate digital meters or mobile apps typically require it to validate your parking session. If you plan to extend your dining or shopping excursion, check whether your digital receipt allows session extensions directly from your smartphone to avoid parking enforcement citations.
