Parking at Playhouse Square

Parking Garage

Playhouse Square has kept event parking affordable for our guests. In fact, at just $20, the on-site Playhouse Square garage is priced lower than other parking facilities at every downtown entertainment and sports venue, where prices are sometimes more than double on event night for lots that can be several blocks away.

The garage offers a covered walkway into the theaters. The walkway is accessible from the 2nd floor of the garage and elevators are available on each parking level.

Purchase night or weekend parking in the Playhouse Square Parking Garage (located at 1450 Chester Avenue) in advance and save! Parking is just $18 online when you purchase prior to the day of your performance ($20 on site). 

The Lumen Parking Garage is conveniently located across the street from the theaters, entering on E. 17^th Street between Prospect and Euclid.

Parking passes must be purchased prior to the day of your performance.

Note: On the day of your performance, you will not be able to purchase Playhouse Square Parking Garage passes online or at the Box Office. Drive-up on-site parking may still be available at the published on-site rate. No overnight parking.

Valet parking is provided by VIP Valet at Playhouse Square. For your convenience, valet is available on both sides of Euclid Ave. in front of the theaters. It is also available in front of the Hanna Theatre on E. 14th St. Normal hours of operation are two (2) hours before the first performance until after the last performance for all evening and weekend performances.

Downtown Clean and Safe Ambassadors

Look for the Gold and Blue Uniforms…Our Downtown Clean and Safe Ambassadors

When you’re in the Playhouse Square District, a clean and secure environment makes your outing more enjoyable. That is why the Downtown Cleveland Alliance (DCA) launched the Clean and Safe Ambassadors Program more than four years ago, and 2016 marks the 10 year anniversary of this program. Fifty-five Ambassadors work seven days a week, cleaning and patrolling the sidewalks downtown and are recognized by their gold and blue uniforms.

Aside from greeting and cleaning, the DCA Safety Ambassadors patrol downtown on foot and bicycle. People working late at night and guests walking back to their cars after a performance at Playhouse Square appreciates the presence of the Ambassadors on the sidewalks, and especially their willingness to walk them to their cars.

If you’d like a DCA Safety Ambassador escort to walk you to your car, RTA HealthLine platform or a nearby hotel, please call the DCA Safety Escort Service at 216-621-6000.

Ambassadors are only available from 7 a.m. - 12 a.m. 

The Downtown Cleveland Alliance (DCA) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to building a dynamic downtown.
