About this Location

Facility Overview

Premium Parking - P8684 - Court and Reedy is a strategically situated open-air surface lot located at 818 Reedy Street on the eastern rim of Downtown Cincinnati, right where the central business district meets the historic Pendleton and Mount Adams neighborhoods. Offering an accessible, flat asphalt layout with clearly marked bays, this lot provides a straightforward self-parking experience without the tight spiral ramps or blind corners common in multi-story garages. Because it is an open-air lot with no overhead height restrictions, P8684 comfortably accommodates all vehicle classes, including full-size pickup trucks, commercial service vans, lifted SUVs, and vehicles carrying roof boxes or bicycle racks that cannot clear standard indoor garage ceilings.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Positioned along the vibrant eastern perimeter of the downtown basin, this lot serves as an exceptionally convenient parking hub for entertainment, work, and cultural attractions:

For public transit users, major Cincinnati Metro bus lines operate nearby along Reading Road, Gilbert Avenue, and 8th/9th Streets, while the Cincinnati Bell Connector streetcar line can be accessed a short walk west along Walnut and Main Streets.

Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a smooth parking experience at P8684, note your license plate number before walking away, as parking enforcement relies on digital plate recognition. Paying via the Premium Parking app allows you to extend your session remotely without having to rush back to your car if your dinner, meeting, or casino visit runs longer than expected. During major events at Hard Rock Casino or waterfront festivals, arrive slightly earlier in the day to secure your preferred spot, and enter directly via Reedy Street from Court Street for the smoothest vehicle approach.
