Parking Information
Please do not park to the east of the Center. We recommend parking in the south parking lot for short term parking. For all day parking please utilize street parking on the streets to the north of the Center or paid parking at the Ballard Locks.
Important: Also, when parking in the south parking lot please do not park in front of the Center Van or the dumpster. It costs us money and staff every time a driver does this and it can stop garbage pickup and delay Center trips.
