Parking Information

There is a paid parking garage where you can park for a full day at 15 E Washington St. 
​
There are limited parking spots at the Masonic Lodge Parking Lot at 12 W Carpenter St, Athens, OH 45701. Please be mindful that we are designating this lot mainly for those with accessibility needs. If you do not have any accessibility needs, please use this lot as a "last resort."
