Smart Park 3rd & Alder

Convenient and cheap parking downtown with easy in-and-out ticket scanning/card payment. Only $2.20 for the first hour as of March 2026. This is my go-to, just not at night. Sinister Coffee is attached to it just around the corner from the exit if you ever find yourself here before 4pm. Everywhere I need to go downtown is no more than a 10 minute walk from this garage.

Location is super convenient and the parking rates are very reasonable. A great, hassle-free option if you’re heading downtown.

PSA: Don't leave valuables in your car - especially a backpack or electronic devices. Had a good experience parking here for a couple hours in the early morning. Staff was on-site. Felt safe + operation ran smooth. Reasonable rates.

Awesome multi story parking garage facility within downtown, very close to the shopping district at sweet value for money only 12 bucks. I felt my car was secure at all times with optimal parking stalls available. Payment is easy and can be done upon exit at the barriers by providing your entry ticket.

BE AWARE!! Back in January my fiancé and I went to Mother’s Bistro to celebrate our engagement, only to come back to the back window of my car smashed open and all my camping stuff stolen (I will admit it was not smart of me to leave them in the back) AND just this Friday, my friends came out to celebrate my birthday at Mother’s Bistro and one of their cars go broken into. There were actually a couple of other cars whose windows were smashed open that night too. To add salt to the wound, my friend literally had nothing visible nor anything worthy of stealing, so it was all for nothing. When my car got broken into, security had placed a card under my front windshield wipers to entice me to report the break in to try and avoid any liability on their end, but doing so would not have benefit
