Civic Center Parking Garage

Parking is available here. Monthly too. $ 30/​mo. + $ 10 Refundable Deposit for the key card. Free parking for prospective (i.e., civic slavery opportunities) jurors — moreso on the third floor but that’s where the «land bridge» is anyway.
However, you can always jaywalk across but if you did, it’s more ideal to jaywalk like a County Employee (i.e., own it like a boss) in the pre-​authorized County Employee Jaywalking Zone (hint: it’s directly across from the chain link gated armoury parking lot). Or you can do it like John Q. Public at the intersection of the parking garage and Hedding.
Free parking pretty much everywhere after 6pm, especially metered spots — except maybe City of San Jose Parking Lots. This works out for the once-​in-​a-​lifetime or once-​upon-​a-​time annual Cirque du Soleil visits onto the primary City of San Jose/​SJPD parking lot.

Free parking when reporting for jury duty. Large garage with plenty of spaces.
Get your parking pass validated when you check in for jury duty. Insert the validated parking pass in order to exit the garage. Easy!
TIP — Park on the 3^rd floor where the bridge is located. You must use the bridge to cross the street, there’s no direct crosswalk at street level.

I only parked here because I got called in for Jury duty … ugh.
But at least they validate parking. It’s just a little complicated. You have to bring in your parking pass that’s included in your jury duty letter and present it to them when you check in (even though the letter tells you to leave it on your dash). They’ll «punch» it with a stamp, then when you (finally) get out, you gotta walk up to the third floor and put it in the machine to «pay» for it. Take it with you when you drive down to the first floor where you insert your paid validation to get past the gate.
To save yourself the trouble, just park on the 3^rd floor and take the elevator up and down. It’s just faster than having to climb all the way up there just to pay.

Nice spacious garage but the only reason you’d ever be here is if you work in the area (courthouse, jail), you’re a bail bonds person, or you’re serving jury duty. Oh I suppose if you’re plotting to bust someone out of jail or juvey this could be a place to hang low before it’s «time».
