Val Beerbower of the Downtown Dayton Partnership urges St. Patrick’s Day revelers to take advantage of parking lots in and around the Oregon District, including the Holy Trinity Church lot, 272 Bainbridge St., Dayton.

There is also street parking and paid lots on and off Wayne Avenue and elsewhere in the Oregon District.

“It would be super swell if people don't park in the residential neighborhood,” Beerbower said.

Many residents, some of whom are elderly, do not have off street parking and use spots in front of their homes.

Beerbower said there will also be spaces in the Oregon District Garage. Formerly known as the Convention Center Garage, the facility is a short distance from downtown and Oregon District bars and restaurants.

Hourly rates are $2 per hour with a maximum rate of $6 per day. Parking is $1 daily after 6 p.m.
