About this Location

Facility Overview

Located at 902 Eggleston Avenue in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio (ZIP code 45202), this open-air surface parking lot managed by Parking Company of America offers an exceptionally convenient parking solution on the eastern edge of the central business district. Nestled right where Eggleston Avenue meets East Court Street and East 9th Street, this facility features a wide-open asphalt layout that eliminates the vertical clearance constraints commonly encountered in traditional parking garages. Because there are no low-hanging ceilings, overhead pipes, or tight turning ramps, this lot is universally suited for all standard passenger vehicles as well as oversized pickup trucks, large family SUVs, commercial work vans, and vehicles equipped with roof racks or cargo carriers.

When heading to this lot, ensure your navigation app directs you to the Eggleston Avenue entry between East 9th Street and East Court Street. During high-demand events such as Reds opening day, Riverfest, or major Taft Theatre concerts, event pricing may apply and spaces can fill up rapidly; arriving 45 to 60 minutes before scheduled start times is highly recommended.
