Parking is available at the Columbus Commons Main Parking Garage, located at 55 East Rich Street, just steps away from the Commons. Parking is $10 for the Picnic with the Pops series.  Both cash or credit is accepted at the pay-on-foot machines, but only credit is accepted at the exit gate machine. We recommend paying for parking at the pay-on-foot machines located at the lobby exit of the garage near Rich Street before going into Columbus Commons, so your parking is already paid for to make your exit experience a quick and easy one. Don’t forget to keep your parking validation with you after you pay, so you can enter it into the machine at the exit gate (the paid validation will pop the gate upon exit).
