Facility Overview
The Pinellas County Parking Garage, located at 310 Court St, Clearwater, FL 33756, is a primary multi-level parking structure serving the heart of downtown Clearwater. Designed to accommodate the high traffic demand of the county administrative district, this facility offers a robust, covered parking environment that protects vehicles from Florida’s intense sun and frequent rain. The structure is well-suited for standard passenger vehicles, sedans, and most SUVs.

Visitor & Driver Tips
For the smoothest experience, consider arriving at least 45 minutes prior to any major event or performance, as garages in the downtown area can experience rapid fill-rates during sell-out shows. Always double-check your parking receipt to ensure it is displayed correctly if required by local ordinances. If you are unfamiliar with the area, set your GPS specifically to 310 Court St; however, keep an eye out for venue-specific signage that may indicate event-day changes to traffic patterns.
