The lot is covered, paved, and has wide handicap-accessible spaces. Staff and attendants were helpful, directing traffic and recommending easy exit spots. Security was present, the area was clean and felt safe. Parking typically costs $10-$25 (cash during events), and entry was smooth with no issues. A great upgrade to downtown amenities!

If you're heading to the Jacksonville Veteran's Memorial Arena, this is THE best place to park!…read more The parking garage is located just south of the arena... literally right next door to the main entrance of the arena. It's also the best place to park if you're heading to a Jacksonville Suns game... it's literally right across the street from the main entrance to the stadium. Best thing about it? It's a garage. This means it's covered. We live in Florida. Who wants a hot car?! It's a very nice, clean, safe garage with plenty of spaces available. There's always security around, so you don't have to be worried about walking to and from your car. Pricing varies. I have parked here a couple of times for free (my daughter's high school graduation and a free Jacksonville Sharks scrimmage game). I have also parked here numerous other times for concerts, Disney on Ice, Suns baseball games, etc. and parking has been either $5 or $10. I've never had to pay more than $10. It just makes sense to park here rather than on in one of the outside lots where you'll end up paying the same amount for your car to sit in the hot sun and you'll have to walk a lot farther to get to the stadium. Good job, City of Jacksonville... you finally did something right! (Ok, I'm giving the COJ credit for this parking garage.... I could very well be wrong! LOL)

PRO TIP: The $1M Memory Lab on the 4th floor of the Main Library downtown is FREE to use with a JPL card. Ask the Special Collections librarians for help, bring a thumb drive for downloads, and you're all set!

Inside there is a wide open space with an atrium above supported by hunched figures. One hallway has some great historic photos of Jacksonville. You have to go through security to get in, but its worth a visit. I was a bit disappointed that they didn't have any downtown maps, walking history tour information, or even a prominently displayed history of the building itself!!! Come on J-ville, feature your beautiful architectural history!!! The hallway with photographs has an image of the building with other buildings including a hotel that were in the area before the great fire.

City Hall is located across the street from Hemming Plaza. You're going to have to park on the street and feed a meter (unless you have a handicapped parking permit in which case you can park for free and aren't required to feed the meters). Parking can be quite hard to find downtown, so bring some patience with you. I remember being amazed the first time I walked into City Hall because I wasn't expecting the inside of the building to be so beautiful. It's so large and clean. I was and still am very impressed with the way the COJ keeps City Hall maintained. It is a government building, so make sure not to bring in any weapons. I really shouldn't have to say that, but I know some people do have a concealed license permit and they carry them. It can be a little confusing to navigate the building, but there are plenty of people around to help you find the office you are looking for.

Dr. Witten validates your tickets, so you don't have to pay. It's a very old garage and very tight parking. The 80 year old Lady in the booth always makes a comment about his office and the patients who park there. She says we never know how to scan the validated ticket. Not nice at all. Very cranky lady. I am sorry to say this, but it's true. So, I don't know if I'll ever park in this garage or not. I'd rather walk a mile, but it was raining the day I came.

We stumbled upon this garage, and were pleasantly surprised to see parking was $5 per hour, which is pretty nominal, especially when there's an event going on. Parking was breeze, we grabbed our ticket, we were able to get ground floor parking, and it was a short walk to the Times Union Center. Leaving the structure was just as easy. We submitted our ticket, paid with a card, and were on our way. THe best part was there wasn't a traffic jam getting out of the lot.

He called his manager on a flip phone and had a conversation but when I asked for the phone so I could ask the man the simple question HOW MUCH there was no one on the line. He finally let me out. I reported to it the local police.

Nearly double our rates during Covid and do nothing to the garage for upkeep. They need to paint the parking spot lines as well. You can't see the lines.

Thank God, I've never been late.

This parking garage is located directly across the street from the (new) Duval County Courthouse…read more It's reasonably clean and larger than it appears, with 7 floors. Even on busy days, there are still plenty of spaces open, you just have to drive higher to find them. (Obviously, if you drive a compact car, you have a better chance to find a more convenient spot near an elevator.) Priced reasonably, $4 for one hour, an additional $4 for the second hour but no more than $10 total. If you are on jury duty, the fee is waived with proof of jury summons. If you are an employee, you can get special monthly rates. The ground floor of the garage houses a few restaurants and cafes, convenient to the courthouse. Also, I have used this garage for free during Downtown's Art Walk (1st Wednesday of the month), but only one access door is open in the evening then, and it's the one that faces Clay Street.

EverBank Stadium is honestly one of the easiest stadiums…read moreI've been to navigate. Getting around feels simple and efficient, and for a stadium, the food and drink prices really aren't nearly as outrageous as you'd expect. One thing I especially love is that it's actually IN Jacksonville instead of being built 20+ miles outside the city it's named after like so many other stadiums. The downtown location adds so much to the experience and makes game days/events feel connected to the city itself. Already excited to see what it looks like after the renovations because the future plans sound incredible. Also, huge shoutout to Steve C. in the Gallagher Club -- hands down the best bartender in the entire stadium. Friendly, fast, and always makes the experience even better.
