About this Location

Facility Overview

Tensegrity P. T. Parking is an open-air surface parking lot conveniently situated at 240 E Broadway in the vibrant eastern corridor of Downtown Eugene, Oregon. Positioned adjacent to the Tensegrity Physical Therapy facility, this dedicated parking area provides both patient and visitor parking within easy reach of central downtown amenities and cultural institutions. As an unobstructed outdoor lot, it features open-sky clearance without vertical height restrictions, making it an excellent destination for standard passenger cars, oversized SUVs, lifted pickup trucks, and vehicles carrying rooftop cargo boxes or bicycle racks. The layout offers clear sightlines, marked standard bays, and straightforward navigational lanes designed for stress-free maneuvering.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Strategically situated on East Broadway between Pearl Street and High Street, this parking lot places visitors directly across the street from some of Eugene\'s premier cultural and entertainment venues:

The John G. Shedd Institute for the Arts (The Shedd) & Jaqua Concert Hall: Located less than a 1-minute walk away (directly across Broadway/High St), making this one of the most convenient parking spots for live performances, lectures, and concerts.
Downtown Eugene & Kesey Square: A scenic 4-to-6-minute stroll west brings you to the core of downtown dining, brewpubs, craft coffee houses, and boutique retail.

Egress is quick and manageable, allowing drivers to circumvent the heavier pedestrian congestion found deeper within the central downtown square. Regional drivers benefit from direct connections to Interstate 5 via Franklin Boulevard to the east, as well as easy cross-town routes heading towards Coburg Road and the Ferry Street Bridge. For public transit users, the Lane Transit District (LTD) bus lines service East Broadway and 11th Avenue, while the LTD Eugene Station hub is within a 7-minute walk, providing seamless links to the EmX (Emerald Express) rapid bus line connecting downtown to the UO campus and Springfield.

Visitor & Driver Tips

If you are attending a performance at Jaqua Concert Hall or The Shedd, arrive 20 to 30 minutes before showtime, as spaces in this street-side lot fill rapidly ahead of popular productions. Always verify posted signage at your specific stall to differentiate between patient-reserved daytime slots and public/event-paid parking hours. For patients visiting Tensegrity Physical Therapy, check in at the reception desk upon arrival to confirm parking validation requirements.
