This parking garage is terrible, how do u close at night when y'all r in a college town with…read moreparties and shit like that. lady on the phone was extremely rude as well. Parked here during the phoebe bridgers concert and, knowing there was an event there(had event parking signage), closed before the concert was even done. the stairwell looks dangerous as hell, reeks of piss, and is overall extremely dirty. Do NOT park your car here, especially if you want to leave by 11:00 pm at night. terrible structural build as well, if you park near a wall prepare to hit your car door on the wall, for some god awful reason there's tiny little ledges that can cause some serious damage to the car. Overall: find a better parking lot, this place is fucking dogshit

I only saw one payment machine by the pedestrian entrance by the north portion of the garage and had to wait a moment while the person ahead of me paid. The single machine only accepted credit cards. Don't lose your ticket or you'll have to pay the maximum daily payment regardless of time spent. You scan the ticket on the way out to get the gate arm to raise. I didn't see any suspicious people or encounter pools of urine or trash. Whoever runs this garage is doing an adequate job of keeping homeless people out of it. Overall I found it to be just fine getting in and out of the garage on my midweek all-day campus visit. Bottom line I would use this garage again if I had an all-day campus event to attend. (No AI used in this review and it shows. lol)

I just recently learned that Stadium Parking, which is beneath Maxwell Family Field, is where they suggest that all general visitors park. Really? All the way up here? To visit campus? That's crazy! It's the closest parking to Memorial Stadium, but I'm sure it's ridiculously expensive to park here for football games, if it's not reserved outright for season ticket holders and/or other rich alumni. It's technically the closest parking to the Greek Theatre, which I normally just trudge up the hill from Downtown Berkeley to, but when I brought my dad to the Greek to see Elvis Costello, I knew the hill would be too much for him, so we parked here. Yes, it's expensive, but it's not a ghastly kind of expensive. If you do park here, remember that you're still in Berkeley, even if you are on campus. What I mean is that you shouldn't assume that there's any kind of added security just because it's a paid parking structure way up the hill on a college campus. Thieves be thievin', and they'd like nothing more than to break your car window just to see whether that small bag you left on the backseat contains anything of value whatsoever.

Center Street Parking Garage is close to many businesses and UC Berkeley, which is why parking…read morerates are higher compared to other parking garages from Downtown Berkeley. Basically, it's $3/hr until your 4th hour, which is $25. These parking garage levels are quite complex because their names start with a number and then letter (e.g. 4E), which is why I had a hard time looking for my car since I only relied on just the parking level rather than its name. Be careful not to park overnight and then the next day. Some reviewers said that they can't go to their cars since they arrived outside of hours of operation and ended up paying way more most likely because their cars are parked the next day and that parking rates are enforced. I highly advise you to read the signs carefully and leave the garage before this garage closes. Overall, this is a convenient parking garage to go to if you plan to stay for more than 4 hours.

I have to give an update. After a long night at the Greek Theater, I came back to Center Street…read moreParking Garage to find that the elevator bank - both elevators were out of order. I was with a friend who had trouble climbing stairs so this presented a huge problem. My first review was pretty direct. I called out the City of Berkeley for ADA issues since the elevators were out of service and there was no signage on the elevators. Later, I did reach out to Kevin Phan, Project Manager, City of Berkeley but to be honest his response was a cut and paste job that he had probably sent to hundreds of other concerned Berkeley residents. I was not impressed. Later, Noah Budnick, Senior Management Analyst, City of Berkeley emailed me with a personal apology and a response that was well written and genuine. Noah gets my vote for employee of the month award for his sincere note. Center Street Parking Garage is one of the best garage's I've used in the Bay Area. . (I used to work in the City and know most of the public Garages in Downtown.) It's safe, well lit and reasonably priced if you arrive after 5:00pm.
