Parking At A Glance

What to do
The PowerHouse owner directs visitors to Park Cedar Rapids for covered ramps, street parking and city lots. Accessible spaces are first-come along streets and in local garages. Check the current facility, event rate, skywalk availability and closing time before entering.
Best option
Choose a downtown ramp or street space serving 370 1st Avenue NE. Arrange an appropriate drop-off and accessible route in advance with 319-731-4510; staff can escort already-ticketed guests to elevators outside the ticketed area.
Avoid
The free on-site lot mentioned on the operator’s shared parking page belongs to ImOn Ice, not the PowerHouse. Do not assume free arena parking, a reserved accessible space, a garage price or late skywalk access from that other venue’s listing.
