Webster/Cowper Garage

This is a three hour FREE parking garage. I never had a problem finding a spot right away. They have Permit Parking on the Basement and from 3^rd to 5^th and public parking on all floors. I never tried going on their rooftop because I am too lazy to walk up and down those flights of stairs. Hellooooo? I’m usually wearing heels. Make sure to move your car after the three hour is up because those people who works for the City of Palo Alto will give you a ticket and that’s a good $ 41 bucks! You can prolly leave your car for additional 30minutes more after the 3hrs but I will not risk it if I were you. If you think you will stay here for more than 8 hours and don’t want to move your car from one garage to another, you can pay the $ 15 whole day permit. Be careful not to occupy 2 slots because they will give you a tix for that as well. Entrance and Exit on both Webster St and Cowper St.
OK?
Thanks!
Bye! :)

This was my secret parking in downtown for a long time until downtown PA started getting super busy. Now they’ve recently fucked up the Webster side entrance and made the lower level permit only Mon-​Fri. Hopefully they get that construction done soon. But generally if the area is crowded you’ll always find parking up in the higher levels and the roof actually has a great view of the area.

Blue zone downtown Palo Alto parking, where downtown Palo Alto starts on the East end, nearest Hwy 101.
Three-​hour parking is free.
5 story parking garage behind California Pizza
and across from Garden Court Hotel.
½ block south of University Ave.
