    Green = unoccupied Red = keep lookin'
    Lanny B.

    Tons of parking, spaces are easy to get in and out of...and the best part? Red lights over the occupied spaces, green lights above the available spaces. Price: FREE

    Pricing, as of 2/5/17

    PROS - Lights to show which spots are open - Free if less than 3 hours - Accepts AMEX - Can pay with CARD at exit - 5 Floors and Valet option CONS - Charges for Parking - No pay center by the stairwell entrance(s) - Lights don't work if the car is parked like a jerk (aka too far to the left or right to avoid cars next to it) My favorite parking garage in Walnut Creek! Located right next to Crate&Barrel and Stanfords is the South Main Parking Structure.. or Broadway Plaza? According to the Yelp location it's the first but according to their pay booth it's the latter. Anyways.. They now CHARGE FOR PARKING, but here is their current pricing as of this review: 0-3 FREE 3-4 $5.00 4-5 $7.00 5+ $25.00 Max Daily $25.00 Lost Ticket $25.00 And with that fee, you now get the lights above each parking spot (which are ALMOST foolproof) to let you know which ones are open and which ones aren't. I just realized, I don't know if the fifth floor has those lights... Oh, I don't know if it's just my car, but sometimes the turns in that garage make my tires squeal. Heads up, if you are coming back with your purchased goodies through the stairwell behind Crate and Barrel, there's no pay station so be ready to either: pay by card at the exit or find the pay station near the elevator. Catch me in this garage when I'm in Downtown Walnut Creek!

    Do NOT park here if you are going to stay one minute past 5 hours. We spent 5 1/2 hours shopping and eating, not realizing that if hit the 5-hr mark, you pay $25, as though you had lost your ticket! 4 hours would have been $7, but 5 hours put us up to $25!!!!!!!!!! I would think that the Broadway Plaza merchants would want to do something about this. Wouldn't you rather have your customers stay longer, perhaps eat both lunch and dinner in the area, and spend more money? Talk about a rude awakening! Judging by other Yelp! reviews, we were not the only ones to be caught off guard. I honestly don't know if prices were posted on the machine where we pulled our ticket. We were too busy trying to grab the ticket and move forward with the long line of cars behind us. If the sign was there, it was not obvious. I am always very aware of prices when I enter garages, as signs are usually posted quite prominently. We were completely shocked when we returned, and our ticket indicated the $25 charge. At that point we looked around, and, belatedly, found the sign near the pay station. If the garage is worried about employees parking in the garage, then perhaps they should institute a validation system.

    More parking spots, and the ceiling lights to let you know if the spot is open (green light) or spot is (taken) which reduces your time of finding parking! Paid parking though but I don't stay there long.

    So many places to eat and walk off your food here. Great vibe and was recommended by our front desk…read moreperson from our hotel. Had an awesome dinner at Tomatina and had our son and his girlfriend join us. So much selection of restaurants we have to come back and try other places.

    This shopping plaza, which was built on the former site where Walnut Creek Grammar School sat from…read more1912 (a school built to replace where Central School had stood since 1872) is a now a popular shopping destination for both residents and visitors to Walnut Creek. There is a Walnut Creek Historical Society marker in the form of a statue denoting this site at Olympic Boulevard (at Locust Street). You can watch a short and informative video about Walnut Creek Grammar School on Youtube narrated by Former Walnut Creek Mayor, Bob Schroder, who also attended the grammar school! www.//tinyurl.com/yc5hhh5o The current primary tenant that draws in the crowds that stand waiting in line is The Cheesecake Factory, which is housed in the former Andronico's location from when Plaza Escuela was modernized in the year 2000. It's a central location where you can hang out on the benches and people watch or chill with your friends, which many of the local teens do on the weekends. Or you can take a pleasant stroll to Century Theater across the way and the shops in Olympia Plaza, to Main Street Plaza across the street, to Broadway Plaza down the street, or to Alma Park Plaza. It's also a short walk from the apartments at Alma Park and Park Place. There is parking to be found in two garages, as well as metered parking on the street. Eateries in the plaza are: + The Cheesecake Factory + Ruth's Chris Steak House + Ike's Lair + Buckhorn Grill + Chipotle Mexican Grill + Pizza My Heart + Pressed Juicery + Poke Bar The retailers in the plaza are: + Tilly's + Men's Wearhouse + The Container Store + Forever 21 + Ann Taylor Loft + Uniqlo + Camera West The services in the plaza are: + Yoga Works + Trufusion + AAA

    I wanted to THANK the great customer service staff at ParkSmart NEWELL location…read more We are new to the area, my wife took our son to Emergency Room across the street, and being unfamiliar with the area she parked at the nearest open location which was a little plaza across the street. When she came back, - she had a citation for expired meter. Sure enough, as the emergency room takes a long time, and there was no way to come out and extend the meter. I wanted to THANK A LOT the considerate staff that reviewed our situation and dismissed this ticket for us (we provided the initial payment info and the ER visit note). My whole call and response experience was great and the gentlemen I spoke with was super polite and sympathetic, we received the reminder/explanation of the rules, guidance on the Kaiser Parking facility location, and the dismissal of our ticket! Again, thank you so much for the great Staff Team working for you and outstanding Customer Service! Happy Holidays! Vlad L.

Sounds like they have an issue of clock calibrations or purposely adjust time to allow tickets. I've read ParkScam's CA and DMV rulings not supporting them or allowing access to car owners info.
