New temporary parking spaces downtown

Last updated on January 06, 2025

Downtown Orlando is making it easier to park, navigate, and enjoy everything the city has to offer with the addition of new temporary parking spaces in the future Canopy space. This one-year pilot program is more than just an infrastructure improvement—it's a strategic effort to create a safer, more efficient, and user-friendly environment for residents and visitors alike. 

The new parking initiative introduces two new lots conveniently located in downtown Orlando. The first lot, located on Pine Street between Garland Avenue and Hughey Avenue (41 S. Hughey Avenue), includes parking spaces for 3-hour public parking between 11 a.m. - 4 a.m. The second temporary lot, located on Central Boulevard between Garland Avenue and Hughey Avenue (33 N. Hughey Avenue), offers spaces that are designated for pick-up and drop-off only from 6 p.m. - 3 a.m. 

With guests navigating the area for dinner, catching a concert, attending a sporting event, or exploring DTO, the additional parking spaces will help ease congestion while improving pedestrian safety. By reducing the time spent searching for parking or managing pickup and drop-off traffic, the city aims to provide a more seamless downtown experience. 

Visitors can pay for parking in the Pine lot using the ParkMobile app. Please note that parking cannot be reserved, so spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Downtown Orlando continues to grow, and with it comes the need for innovative solutions to support the community and visitors. Whether you're stopping by for a quick lunch, attending a performance, or simply enjoying all that downtown has to offer, this project is designed to make your experience smoother and safer. 

This is just the beginning of Orlando’s commitment to a more accessible and pedestrian-friendly downtown as part of the DTO Action Plan.
