TIPS
FOR PARKING IN DOWNTOWN ASHEVILLE
PARKING GARAGES
The easiest solution to parking is using on of the three city parking
decks. On Monday-Friday, your first hour is free then 50 cents per
hour with a $4.00 maximum. After 7pm and all day Saturday and Sunday,
parking is $1 flat fee per exit (be sure to have quarters or a dollar
bill - there are not attendants to give change after 7pm and on
weekends). For big special events downtown, flat fee increases to $5.
- Civic Center Parking Deck is entered from Haywood or Rankin
- Rankin Avenue Parking Deck is entered from Walnut
- Wall Street Parking Deck is entered from Otis Street near Patton
Avenue
There are a couple of privately owned parking garages downtown that
are usually more expensive, but very convenient.
ON STREET PARKING
- For on-street parking, meters usually run 75 cents an hour (don't
forget your coins).
- Pay meters on Monday-Saturday, 8 am-6 pm.
- On-street parking is free after 6 pm, Sundays, and holidays (New
Years Day, Martin Luther King Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, 4th of
July, Labor Day, two days at Thanksgiving, and three days at
Christmas)
- A city lot with meters is located on Biltmore Avenue.
- Citations for overtime parking are $10.
