1. Where can I park?

There is no dedicated parking lot at Cain Park, which was built in 1938 in the middle of a residential neighborhood.  Back then, cars were not considered the major means of transportation so no parking lot was ever in the plans. We value our available green space as parkland. There are over 900 FREE onstreet parking spaces within easy walking distance of Cain Park. Please observe all parking signs to avoid ticketing.  And for certain concerts, we do have aFREE PARKING SHUTTLE SERVICE. FYI...the Evans Amphitheater is closest to the Goodnor/Superior entrance and the Alma Theater is closest to the Lee Road entrance. Also, the Cumberland Pool parking lot (closest to the Lee Road entrance) is located within easy walking distance of Cain Park.  Please be advised there are no guards on duty at this parking lot.
