Visitor & Driver Tips

When planning your trip, be sure to confirm payment immediately upon parking using the posted sign instructions or designated mobile payment code. During major community events, festivals in Downtown Tyler, or midday peak business hours, spaces can fill quickly, so an early arrival is recommended. If traveling with an oversized vehicle or hauling exterior gear, use the end stalls where practical to maximize door clearance and ensure ease of departure.
