The first two levels in all structures are dedicated to three-hour parking only (santamonicaplace.com), so longer visits are better suited to higher levels rather than the closest spaces. Valet parking is available on Second Street between Broadway and Colorado Avenue at Santa Monica Place Shopping Center for a flat rate of $20 (downtownsm.com). The valet option is useful when carrying shopping or meeting someone at the center, while self-parking keeps the daily maximum lower on weekdays. ## Parksy Spaces Close to the Center Parksy lists three covered garage spaces at Palisades Promenade, 139 yards from the center, each priced at $15.80 an hour. Three further Parksy choices are 174 yards away near Ocean Avenue: two garage spaces at Shore Hotel Garage and 1515 Ocean Avenue cost $15 a day, while a garage space on Ocean Avenue costs $249 a month and is 239 yards away. The $15 daily spaces beat the center’s weekday daily maximum for a full-day stay, while the monthly option is aimed at repeat parking rather than a single shopping trip. Show map of Santa Monica ## Public Structures Around Santa Monica Place Parking Structure 1 is a named public option in Santa Monica. Its weekday tariff is $1 for the first 90 minutes, $3 from 1.5 to 3 hours, $10 from 3 to 5 hours, and $20 from 5 hours to the daily maximum; a lost ticket costs $20 (santamonica.gov). Parking Structure 8 is another named city facility near the center. The published weekday schedule charges $1 for the first 90 minutes, $3 from 1.5 to 3 hours, $10 from 3 to 5 hours, and $20 from 5 hours to the daily maximum (santamonica.gov). Public structures 7 and 8 are described as adjacent to the center by a local parking guide, making them practical alternatives when the center’s own levels are busy (sixt.com). ## Weekend and Shopping-Peak Parking at SMP Weekend visits carry a higher center parking maximum of $25, compared with $20 on weekdays (santamonicaplace.com). The first two levels in every center structure are limited to three-hour parking (santamonica-place.com), which matters during busy shopping periods because those levels are not intended for an all-day stay. Valet parking on Second Street between Broadway and Colorado Avenue is available for a flat $20 rate (downtownsm.com). A city parking guide also identifies public Structures 7 and 8 as adjacent to the center (sixt.com). These options give drivers alternatives during busy weekends or sales, while the center’s three-hour restriction on the first two levels makes a longer visit better suited to other levels or a nearby public structure. ## Walking to Santa Monica Place From Rail and Nearby Streets Santa Monica Place is at 220 South Broadway, in downtown Santa Monica and adjacent to Third Street Promenade (santamonicaplace.com). The center is 0.4 miles from Santa Monica center, so drivers using a remote space can treat the final approach as a short downtown walk rather than circling for a closer bay. A local downtown parking guide mentions bus access in its parking information, while the center’s official site places the mall by Third Street Promenade and the Pacific Ocean (downtownsm.com; santamonicaplace.com). For a rail-to-mall journey, use the station’s signed downtown route toward South Broadway and the promenade, then follow the center address to the shopping complex.
