Garages & Lots

Off-street facilities do require payment every day, 24 hours of the day .

  • In an effort to safely accommodate the community and staff while continuing to meet parking needs, there will be no cashiers on duty.  Garages and lots will only accept payment at the pay-on-foot stations or by credit card at the exit.  There are pay-on-foot stations near most walking entrances and credit/debit card payment options at exit gates.
  • Parking Maintenance has implemented a twice daily cleaning/disinfecting procedure for all PARCS equipment, (including: Pay-on-Foot, Exit, and Entry Stations); elevator panels & lobbies, door handles, and railings in all of our garages, and surface lots.
