Cityscape Public Parking Garage — Local services in Phoenix

This is a convenient and safe garage to park at. It's off of a one-way street, so make sure as you get closer to stay in the left lane. It's a narrow entrance with a curved road that takes you down. You'll grab your ticket, and then from there inside- there's plenty of parking including accessible spots. What's nice is this garage offers quick access to the Cityscape plaza and surrounding restaurants- just take the set of escalators/ elevators up. On your way out, just make sure you pay - there was a code to text and they send you a link to pay. After that, you have 15 minutes to exit. When you exit, it's going to be right next to the entrance area- another narrow curved road up. Watch for pedestrians and it's a one-way street. Can't speak to how this garage is at night on the weekends, but at least in the morning it...

I had no issues using this parking garage, despite my trepidation based on the reviews. I entered and exited on the 1st Ave side, for what it's worth. The parking structure was easy to get in, and super easy to get out. No lines on a Sunday afternoon, of course. And we were in and out in less than an hour, so we paid only $5. Not bad for downtown. Like other reviewers said, make sure to hang on to your ticket so you're not forced to pay the daily max of $30! And be aware that the exit doors to street level (when you walk out of the parking garage) swing out unlocked, but are locked to get back in, so we had to take the elevator back down to the parking level. Just mentioning because some people felt it necessary to walk back in through the car entrance, but I wouldn't...

Elevator out of service during an event? It happens.

Oddly designed stairs that go down 1 floor in 5 story garage (w/ signs that point to a stairwell, but has an emergency exit alarm door)? Odd, but okay.

Prepay machines eating tickets? Frustrating, I’m sure, but hey, at least there’s an intercom for help.

Don’t-give-damn, primordial soup getting paid to tell the ticketless customer to just use the machine on the way out and hanging up? I mean, at some point you gotta say wow. To know that you pay for this kinda defect to get a paycheck is just a lot to swallow. Seriously dude. If you hate your dead-end job that much, maybe take it as a clue that with either the world is gonna need a bit more effort from ya or maybe the universe have...
