The Playhouse Square parking garage is a convenient garage to park at downtown when you have a show to see at Playhouse Square.
I used the garage recently (in April 2026) to park while I volunteered at the Cleveland International Film Festival. My parking was free but I've parked here at numerous other times. For the times that I've paid for parking when I had a show to see at Playhouse Square, I think that I paid $20 for event parking.
ENTRANCE -- You can enter through the main entrance on Chester Ave. If you are driving on Euclid Ave., you can turn on E. 13th street then turn unto Dodge Ct. street (a side street) to enter the parking garage. I have noticed that sometimes this entrance is blocked by security so you will have to turn through the outside parking lot to enter into the garage on Chester Ave.
ACCESS TO PLAYHOUSE THEATRES -- In the garage, there is a 2nd floor walkway that is attached to Playhouse Square theatres. Thus, after you park your car, you can use this walk away to enter Playhouse Square.
PARKING -- Straightforward. Enter then find a spot to park. Some areas are marked off for others to park in but this shouldn't create a problem with finding a parking spot.
Overall, this is a nice garage to park.
