## The 1,950-Space Garage Beneath the San Diego Convention Center

Drivers heading to the San Diego Convention Center can use the private underground garage beneath the building at 111 West Harbor Drive, in the Asian Pacific Thematic Historic District near Gaslamp Quarter. The facility holds 1,950 vehicles, making it the most direct option for reaching the site. (sandiego.org)

The garage is open 24 hours a day, although event parking is valid until midnight and long-term parking is not permitted. (aceparking.com) ACE Parking operates the facility and can be reached at 619.237.0399.

## Parksy Spaces Within a Short Walk of SDCC

## Named Parking Around the Convention Center and Gaslamp Quarter

The San Diego Convention Center Garage 111 is the named facility associated with the site’s underground parking and is served by ACE Parking. Its location below the building puts drivers directly at the convention center rather than at a remote satellite facility. (aceparking.com)

Official visitor information also identifies the underground garage as on-site private vehicle parking with capacity for 1,950 vehicles.

## Event Pressure and Parking Rules Around SDCC

Event days create the clearest pressure on parking because the on-site garage serves convention visitors as well as other downtown drivers. The garage is open around the clock, but event parking ends at midnight, so guests staying later need to account for that published restriction. (aceparking.com)

(aceparking.com) The official parking information identifies the facility as private vehicle parking below the building, while the published garage rules specify the midnight event cutoff and prohibition on long-term stays. Drivers using surrounding streets should treat posted curb and event controls as governing the space they select, rather than assuming convention parking rules apply outside the garage.

## Walking From Nearby Rail Stops to the Site

The site stands at 111 West Harbor Drive in the Asian Pacific Thematic Historic District, near Gaslamp Quarter. Gaslamp Quarter center is 0.3 miles away, giving visitors staying or parking in that area a short walk to the building.

For drivers who prefer to leave the car outside the event area, walking from Gaslamp Quarter center provides a direct approach to the convention center. The listed 0.3-mile distance is the available place-specific walking reference, while the nearby Parksy spaces range from 22 yards to 0.2 miles from the entrance.
