The City of Sacramento's Capitol Garage is my most frequented and regular parking garage when I'm…read moredowntown for an event or meeting, if I am not opting for street parking (or can't find any). It's often closed to public parking due to special events, but it's really conveniently located in the middle of downtown since it's at the corner of 10th and L St, directly across the north side of the entrance of the Capitol bldg. It's a decently maintained parking structure although it's seen better days. There's been more littering and general griminess it seems, but it's still pretty good generally. The first 2 floors are usually filled up by the time I am there looking for a spot, but there are generally lots of spots open starting on 3rd floor, and the elevators work well and it's not too bad to walk down the stairs. However, the stairs are metal and they can feel kind of wobbly at times. The latest news is that the City of Sacramento has raised prices to address a $66 million budget deficit, so they've raised half-hour rates to $2 (up from $1.50) and increased penalties for lost tickets to $30-$37. All in all, a convenient location and decently well-kept parking garage.

I called the number provided on the ticket but it only allows customers to leave a voice message and does not allow you to speak with an agent on the phone. Definitely feels like a ticketing scam to me because every car in the lot at that time had a ticket on their window. Why would park mobile be an option if it's not being checked for payment?

There is NO NUMBER in the handicap spot- I took a picture of the machine as I was trying to find a way to pay. I looked around from my parking spot and saw no other options. I called the next day after receiving a ticket to share my pictures of the parking space, the machine I was trying to pay at and offered to pay the $6 rate that was posted immediately. They claim I should have walked the parking lot and figured out the space number. I reminded them I was in a handicap space for a reason and walking the parking lot was not realistic. They then tried to state they just repaved the lot and hadn't gotten to adding the space number. I have the photos of the decrepit lot not ever repaved. They then tried to claim people just think they dont have to pay because it was a handicap space- not the case, I know when to pay and when it's free AND I was trying to pay!!!! I initially spoke to Devon @ Priority Parking and provided him pictures and my offer to pay the rate- he was rude and condescending and would not accept.

We can all agree that parking in downtown Sac is challenging. Well, I've tried my share of…read moredifferent parking garages and City Hall Garage, right next to the (formerly known as) Caesar Chavez Park is one of the many parking structures I've used. It's usually less busy than garages closer to the Capitol for obvious reasons, and the price is a bit lower too. For example, the weekday rates (6am to 5pm) were $1.50 each half hour (now $2 per 30 minutes since July 2025). Weekday Max (6 a.m. - 5 p.m.) is now $30, Weekend Day Max (6 a.m. - 5 p.m.) is $7 which is quite reasonable and Weekend Evening Max (5 p.m. to 6 a.m.) is also $7. Also, for those who have electric vehicles, there's free charging, although of course you have to pay to get into the garage, but the free charging is a nice perk. Not to mention besides the chargers that are on the 2nd floor, which are more often taken first, there are chargers on the rooftop, and those are usually available. Of course in hot or super cold or wet weather it's kind of a bummer to have to park out in the elements, but hey at least you find a spot and you can charge your car for free since you've already paid for parking. All in all, this garage is not bad, it's a bit of a trek to the middle of downtown, but it's really not too far from where all the action/events are at/near the Capitol, so this is a good and reliable parking option.

There are plenty of public parking lots with two that I know of on J Street, L Street and 3rd Street entrances that validate at restaurants and some stores in DOCO. Some validate for 2 hours, some for 90 minutes to cushion the total cost of parking. I have always loved this area in downtown Sacramento.
