Parking Information
Visitors and all-day parkers can conveniently locate one of over
16,000 parking spaces in over eighty parking lots and garages.
These off-street facilities stretch from the Bicentennial
Mall on the north to Franklin Street and the Gateway Boulevard
on the south, and along the Cumberland River and East Nashville
to the revitalized Music Row and Interstate 40 on the west.
Currently, Metro owns and operates two public parking facilities:
The Municipal Auditorium Parking Garage at 417 4th Avenue North;
and the Church Street Plaza Garage (Downtown Library) at 151
6th Avenue North. In 2006, downtown's newest public parking facility
will debut with the opening of the Public Square Garage, which
is part of the new Metro Courthouse complex.
Depending on location, the rates of downtown parking facilities
vary from $2.50 to $7 for all-day parking and $5 for most event
parking after 5 p.m. Some locations immediately adjacent to the
arena and the entertainment district cost more. For more information
on special event parking rates and to find out more about getting
around in Nashville, please visit the Nashville
Downtown Partnership’s website.
