Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Event Parking at Balboa Theatre in Marina The venue directs drivers to the 225 Broadway Garage for event parking. The operator also lists the Evan V. Jones Parkade and the 225 Broadway Circle Building in its visitor information (sandiegotheatres.org). Event access at the NBC Building Garage at 225 Broadway begins after 5:30 PM Monday through Friday and runs all day Saturday (jazzconcerts.com). Broadway San Diego recommends arriving at least 60 minutes before curtain because traffic delays can build around the busy Gaslamp area (broadwaysd.com). ## Event-Day Restrictions Around Horton Plaza The 225 Broadway Garage uses Broadway Circle and Second Avenue for event entry, giving drivers a defined approach rather than requiring a search around Horton Plaza (sdopera.org). The venue address is 41 Horton Plaza in Marina, near Gaslamp Quarter, so the final approach is through a busy downtown event district. Broadway San Diego specifically warns that traffic delays occur in and around the busy Gaslamp area during Balboa events and advises arriving at least 60 minutes before curtain (broadwaysd.com). A San Diego Theatre parking guide also identifies Fourth Avenue as the entry side for Horton Plaza Garage (sdopera.org), making the entry street important when selecting a route. Show map of Gaslamp Quarter ## Nearby Garages Beyond the Official Event Option Lot and 501 A St. Garage, listed by a San Diego theater parking guide (san-diego-theater.com). The same guide places 501 A St. Garage at a six-minute walk. The venue’s visitor information names Evan V. Jones Parkade as another parking option, alongside the 225 Broadway Circle Building (sandiegotheatres.org). These facilities give drivers alternatives to the principal Broadway garage when an event arrival makes the central approach congested. ## Parksy Parking Spaces Near the Venue Two covered garage spaces at The Campus at Horton are 133 yards away and cost $3 an hour. A garage space and another covered parking option share the same distance and hourly price, giving drivers a short walk after a show. Two more Parksy options are 180 yards away: a parking lot costing $15.50 a day and a garage space costing $32 a day. The 180-yard walk remains close enough for a straightforward return after an evening performance, while the 133-yard spaces are nearer to 41 Horton Plaza. ## Walking and Rail Access From Nearby Stations Balboa is 0.2 miles from the center of Gaslamp Quarter, placing the theater within a compact downtown area for visitors combining rail travel with a walk. The address is 41 Horton Plaza in Marina, near Gaslamp Quarter. Drivers choosing rail can use the nearby downtown station area and complete the final approach on foot through the central district. The listed place facts provide the Gaslamp Quarter center distance, while the venue and parking sources identify Horton Plaza, Broadway Circle, Second Avenue and Fourth Avenue as the relevant arrival points.
