  • How does parking work on site and how much does it cost?

    Parking is available at a public parking lot (owned by the city) right opposite the building. It costs $13.50 to park all day from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. From 6:00 pm to 9:00 am it’s $0.50/hour or maximum of $2. Parking is also available on the street, throughout the community and is free from 6:00 pm to 9:00 am everyday. It’s also free all day Sunday. Saturday is $0.50/hour. Weekday rates are higher on the streets than in the parking lot. When parking on the streets, look out for signs showing maximum allowable parking duration. We also have available underground, heater parking in a building one block away. As a special for our guests, this costs $12.50 per day.
