The CCC has a cool new web site called Park and Play Downtown. If you’re coming Downtown, type the name of your destination into the search box, and the site will pinpoint it on a map. It will show you what parking options are nearby (denoted by the letter P in a circle). Clicking on any of the parking options will bring up additional info, such as fee, number of spaces, whether it’s covered, and daily/monthly rate. Very helpful for people coming down here from other parts of the city, or who are in town for vacation/business.
If you don’t have a particular destination in mind, or you don’t know the exact name of your destination, that’s okay too. You can request the search engine to show all hotels, stores, or attractions. Kudos to the CCC for a very nifty tool.
