Civic Center Parking Garage

Perfect location. Never enough spaces though. Crazy people backing up for a spot every time we come. Be very careful of the crazy drivers and strollers. Free parking after 5pm. Otherwise .75 per hour. Park and remember your spot number, meters on ground floor by elevator. :-)

This parking garage structure is conveniently located close to the Alameda Theater. This parking structure is different than any other parking garage I’ve frequented. Fortunately, my sister told me beforehand what to expect.
You are required to pre-​pay for parking here. The parking rate is 50 Cents per hour. You can pre-​pay for parking up to four hours between the hours of 9am and 5pm Monday through Saturday. We spent a total of $ 2 for 4 hours. I do not recall if the machine takes cards in addition to cash. The garage is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Make sure to note your parking space number otherwise because you’ll need it. I had to walk all the way back to my car cause I did not take note of the space number. It’s okay, though, cause I could use the exercise. The machines are easy to operate and gives helpful instructions. There are two machines, and they are located close to the garage entrance.
Tip: Ask the clerk at The Alameda Theater for a coupon with a printed code number that will validate parking for a future trip to the garage. You just enter that code number into the pay-​by-​space machine on your next visit. The coupon will enable you to park free for up to three hours.
On busy weekends in downtown Alameda, parking can be a hassle. I’m happy that this parking garage is here and is affordably priced.

If you’re going to downtown Alameda, you should consider parking here. It’s 4 floors with a good amount of parking, it’s clean, and it’s cheap. The rate is $.50 per hour.
My only complaint is that the parking spaces are a bit narrow and it was a tight squeeze for my vehicle. It’s not too bad but I wish it were wider.
I like this parking garage. It’s not the biggest parking structure but it does the job.

Who knew (unless you live in Alameda) Park Street is busy on Saturday night. I was on my way to meet friends at a nearby restaurant and could not find any street parking at 8:30 pm. This lot was also pretty full I had to park on the 4^th floor. The lot is free in the evenings. It was clean. I saw no shady characters hanging around and I got a good look at all the floors because the elevator did not seem to be working.

Easy enough to park… just remember to pay before you leave.

I never saw myself, actually reviewing a parking garage. But, this one saved me a lot of worry. I needed to take an exam at Prometrics.
For that reason I didn’t know exactly how long I would be away from my car, and since I can’t leave the testing center during the duration of the exam, Civic Center Garage remedied my dilemma.
It’s cheap and convenient.

What more can I say? Great location, safe and cheap, always has available spots!

An easy 5 stars.
Tons of parking spaces. Free after 6pm. Completely new and modern facility. No manned operation (that I could see, anyway). CHEAP!
What’s not to love about this giant parking garage?! I’m quite happy lil Alameda has it! Now I just gotta check out that view someone spoke of…
:)

Providing much needed parking for downtown Alameda’s Park Street district. The height and size of the structure isn’t as enormous as initially feared. The price for parking is same as the metered street parking — free after 6 PM and on Sundays. You park, memorize your parking stall number and stick money into the machine on the ground floor for your parking stall.
It’s a success in light of the fact that you often can’t find an open space on weekend nights.
The only downside is the fact that because the floors are a bit on the small size to fit into the size of the property, you might have to go quite a few floors up to find parking on busy weekend nights.
A secret: Nice views of Alameda from the top floor parking. There probably isn’t a place in Alameda that is as high up from which to view the city.

Wow. Finally complete. A 4 story parking structure in the center of Downtown Alameda. Same price as street parking 0.50 an hr and free on evenings and weekends.
