On-Street / Kiosk Parking

All street parking is free from 8:00am-12:00am on Sundays and City-recognized holidays. Check your ParkColumbus App to check out the available parking spaces nearest you ahead of your visit.

SHORT TERM PARKING

Green-colored 30-minute meters limit parking for 30 minutes or less when visiting to quickly and easily pick up orders.

The new parking kiosks within the Short North Arts District accept a variety of payment methods — including coins and credit cards.  ( You are also able to pay via phone with the Park Columbus App. Unlike coin-operated meters, the amount of time you can purchase is much more flexible. )

HOW TO USE

1. Follow the street signs to find the nearest parking kiosk, or click here to view on our Short North Parking Guide.
2. Enter your license plate and mobile payment number
3. Pay with coin or card

TIP: Be sure to note your parking zone. You can use it to add to your parking time from any kiosk throughout the District!

All kiosks parking is free after 12:00am every day and from 8 a.m. to 12 a.m. on Sundays.
