Downtown Parking
Whether you’re stopping to meet friends, to dine, or to shop, on-street parking is available for convenient, short-term parking.
If you plan to park for an extended period of time, consider the Parking Garage at 750 NW Lava Rd, Bend, OR 97701 or a surface lot and use mobility options to travel to and between destinations.
Free Parking Options
Time limits vary from 15 minutes, 2-hour, 3-hour, 4-hour, and All-Day options. Streets are clearly signed with time limit signs. Please view and observe posted time restrictions. All time-limits are for parking zones. Moving your vehicle from one time-limited space to another does not extend the posted time-limit.
Paid Parking Lots
Drivers can pay for parking using one of two mobile parking apps. Simply download the app, create an account, and use it to pay for parking in any City of Bend Downtown Bend metered lot.

Parking is enforced on Christmas Eve & New Year’s Eve if they fall on a regular enforcement day.
Parking Guidance System
The City of Bend uses a Parking Guidance System in Downtown Bend. This system provides intuitive and accurate parking guidance to drivers navigating the often busy downtown parking district. The goal is to reduce traffic congestion and emissions, helping parkers find available spaces more quickly.
Downtown parkers encounter two types of signs: large digital displays showing real-time parking availability across downtown, including street parking, and round circular (CIRC) signs at intersections indicating availability for the next block.
The circular signs are located at most intersections in downtown Bend, attached to light poles. These signs feature digital displays indicating available parking spaces:
- A red zero means no spaces are available in that direction.
- A yellow number indicates a limited number of spaces.
- A green number signifies an ample number of spaces.
The numbers are displayed from left to right: the leftmost number shows spaces to your left, the middle number shows spaces straight ahead, and the rightmost number shows spaces to your right in the downtown corridor.
The diagram below provides a visual representation of this system:
