Reserving parking for your event (Pilot Program)
Holders of approved Glenn Otto Park event reservations may pre-pay to reserve up to 20 parking spaces in Zone 21901, located nearest the Sam Cox Building. Here's what to know:
Cost: $10 per space per day — the standard daily rate. No discounts, and no refunds for unused spaces.
How it works: The Passport parking system will display Zone 21901 as reserved during your event hours, preventing other users from paying to park there. Traffic control devices will be placed at the zone entrance and exit during your reservation period.
Important: The zone does not have gates or physical barriers. Reservation holders are responsible for managing their reserved spaces.
