About this Location

Facility Overview

The Vectren Parking Lot, located at 210 Court St in Downtown Evansville, Indiana, provides a dependable and accessible open-air surface parking solution in the city center. Set within the civic and commercial core, this spacious flat-grade lot accommodates a diverse array of motor vehicles.

The facility features marked stalls, broad driving lanes for effortless two-way circulation, and straightforward entry points directly off Court Street.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When attending high-profile concerts or sellout sporting events at the Ford Center, arriving 30 to 45 minutes ahead of schedule guarantees easier space selection and stress-free walking to the venue doors. Note your stall location or take a quick photo of your surrounding street corner to easily locate your vehicle after nightfall. Keep loose valuables and electronics out of sight, lock your doors, and make sure your vehicle is centered properly within marked bays to keep drive aisles clear for smooth entry and exit.
