Parking and Transportation

ALTERNATIVE MODES OF TRANSPORTATION:
When visiting Pease Park, we highly encourage alternative modes of transportation such as walking, biking, public transportation, or ridesharing if possible.

FREE PARKING:
If you drive, FREE parking can be found at the Austin Recreation Center (1301 Shoal Creek Blvd) or the ACC Rio Grande Parking Garage (824 W 12th St). Both of these options connect to Pease Park via a short walk along the Shoal Creek Trail.

Please note that the ACC Rio Grande Parking Garage will close at 10:30pm. To avoid having your vehicle locked in, please leave by this time.

PAID PARKING:
As of April 17th, 2025, the City of Austin Transportation and Public Works Department has made street parking along Parkway metered, meaning payment through the Park ATX app is required to park along the street from 5:00-10:00pm on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
