UPDATE MAY 20, 2026:

Despite some serious road construction in front of our building, There still is FREE PARKING on N 9th Ave, which is the road east of our building at 101 W 6th St.

Road crews have recently taken several of our spaces on the north end of 9th Ave. All parking is prohibited on the east side of 9th Ave on weekdays from 5:00am to 1:45pm. But you may park there at any time outside those hours! Parallel parking on the west side is available anytime.

If N 9th Ave is full, you may park in the dirt lot west of the Steinfeld Warehouse, on the other side of N Perry Ave.

• Parking at The Franklin Docks is not free. Before 5pm on weekdays, it is permit parking only. After 5pm and all-day on the weekends, a $3 parking fee is required. For more information about paid parking at the Franklin Docks, click here. Changes have been made to the chain link fence surrounding the area to make it possible to park in the Franklin lot and walk directly to our building.
• The gated parking lot directly south of the Steinfeld Warehouse is restricted. Unauthorized vehicles may be locked-in and towed away at the owner's expense! Consult the map below.

There is HEAVY road construction around us on all sides. Click here for more information and traffic maps.

There are several areas close to Xerocraft you can attempt to park in for free. But if you park here, we recommend you keep it brief.

1. Parking in the dirt lot west of Perry Ave. The dirt lot is not owned by us and is an active construction area. Construction vehicles and heavy materials move through there often. Park there at your own risk.
2. The back yard of the Steinfeld Warehouse. This area can fit 4 to 6 cars at a time. But you may be asked to move by other people using the area. The back yard is only accessible by turning north onto Perry Ave from N Church Ave. The back yard gate may be locked depending on when you arrive. If you can't find anyone who knows the lock combination, you will not be able to park there.

There's free parking in Dunbar Spring, the neighborhood directly north of our building, on the north side of the railroad tracks. With the pedestrian walkway over the train tracks almost finished, it's never been faster to park there and get to Xerocraft. If you're bringing items with you, you may want to stop at Xerocraft first to unload, then go park in Dunbar and walk back.
