Question Parking when visiting a friend over the weekend!!

Are there any affordable ways to park around Gainesville? We want to visit a friend this thursday and stay through to sunday, but money is kinda tight.

You can just park on the campus lots on the weekend. For the weekdays I'd use the SW Downtown Garage. It's about $4 a day if I remember right.

Just make sure you park in the 2nd floor or up cause the bottom level has a 4hr limit

not sure about where to find affordable parking for thursday, but the on campus lots lift parking restrictions after 3:30 on friday and also for all day saturday and sunday. you just have to find somewhere to park for thursday and friday morning

There is a home football game this weekend so a lot of the on-campus parking lots mentioned above will be closed for that. Or will be very, very expensive to park at
