About this Location

Facility Overview

The Parcade, situated at 35 W 8th Avenue, is one of Downtown Eugene’s most central and established multi-level parking structures. Managed under the City of Eugene Parking Services, this covered parking garage provides multi-story sheltered parking designed to serve both daily commuters, regional visitors, and patrons of Eugene’s vibrant cultural district. The garage features well-marked vehicular lanes, clearly numbered parking bays, elevator service, and pedestrian stairwells connecting each deck. Standard passenger sedans, crossovers, minivans, and mid-sized SUVs can easily navigate the interior ramps and parking stalls. Drivers operating full-size pickup trucks, commercial work vans, or vehicles equipped with roof racks and cargo boxes should take note of the posted overhead clearance (standard garage clearance is approximately 6 feet 8 inches to 7 feet). Oversized vehicles exceeding height limits and dual-rear-wheel trucks should seek flat surface lot alternatives.

Drivers approaching from Interstate 105 or Highway 126 can take the downtown Eugene exit onto Coburg Road or 7th Avenue (OR-99 South) and make an easy turn onto Olive Street or Willamette Street to access 8th Avenue. Exiting the garage delivers motorists smoothly back into the one-way street grid of downtown Eugene.

Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a stress-free parking experience, keep in mind that downtown Eugene parking garages often offer complimentary parking for the first hour during standard operating periods, with affordable hourly rates thereafter. On peak weekend mornings during the Saturday Market season (April through November) or during major sold-out events at the Hult Center, spaces on the lower levels fill quickly; drive directly to the upper tiers for easier space selection and reduced congestion. Keep your payment receipt or note your stall/license plate number as directed by the automated pay station upon arrival.
