Free Parking
All metered parking throughout downtown offers 20 minutes of FREE parking per session. (You must push the button on the parking meter to activate this). Many students’ parents take advantage of this as an opportunity to drop their kids and run errands to Trader Joe’s or any number of local business during lesson times. If you decide to stay or are taking lessons yourself, don’t forget to push the button before you pay to reduce your overall parking fee.
There is also free parking available in the ParkBOI Garages, which offer the first 60 minutes for free.
