Central Parking District

The City of Stockton's Central Parking District (CPD) administers the City's surface lots and parking structures in the downtown area, including the Stewart Eberhardt Parking Structure located at El Dorado Street and Weber Avenue.

The CPD is operated by an Advisory Board appointed by the City Council.  Capital improvements, maintenance and operating expenses of the CPD are funded by an ad valor em assessment on all properties located within the District, charges for monthly and hourly parking privileges and other income from contract agreements with other entities.

For questions regarding parking or information on part-time garage attendant employment opportunities, please contact the Central Parking District. 

For information about bus routes from downtown parking garages to other locations within the city, please contact San Joaquin Regional Transit District listed under External Links below.

Change in Downtown Parking Validation Policy

Effective April 25, 2012, Cinema Plaza validations (4-hour and 2-hour) will no longer be accepted at the Edmund Coy and Market Street Garages.  However, these validations will continue to be honored at the Stewart-Eberhardt Garage (SEB) at 15 North El Dorado Street.

Requests for Downtown Parking 

There is currently a waiting list for monthly parking downtown in the Central Parking District lots.  To request parking, please complete a Waiting List Request.  When space becomes available in the lot requested, the Central Parking District will contact the next person on the waiting list and request that they complete a Monthly Parking Application. 

Discontinuing Monthly Parking

To discontinue monthly parking, a Request to Terminate Monthly Parking must be completed and submitted to the Central Parking District Office, along with the return of the parking permit.  Failure to do so may result in additional charges.

In addition to the Request to Terminate Monthly Parking, San Joaquin County employees must fill out a County Payroll Deduction Deletion Card to discontinue monthly parking deductions.

To be placed on the Waiting List, request monthly parking, discontinue parking, or request paper copies of forms, please contact the Central Parking District or fill out an Ask Stockton Service Request form at the bottom of the page.
