Park 1

place is located on Halsted & Adams. The parking lot is laden with pot-​holes. It sits next to a nicely paved Walgreens parking lot, which is tempting. At the time of writing, they charged $ 11 for all day parking, which isn’t too bad. The other neighboring parking lots were charging $ 14.

Another riveting review for a parking facility. I know, I know… but someone’s gotta do it.
I can’t speak to the weekday prices, but for all day on a Saturday in the city, only mere blocks from businesses and tourist attractions, it’s only $ 6 to park your ride. An almost alarmingly low rate.
Perhaps it’s because it’s so close to other major public transit (pretty center as far as distance between Ogilvie and Union Station) that their prices are so affordable in order to compete, but I saw other lots around this area charging more than double that… granted this lot doesn’t have an attendant on duty during the weekends, just a machine where you enter the last 3 digits of your license plate number and then you can pay by either card or exact cash, then you get a printed ticket to display on the dash in your car.
It’s in a pretty nice area and seemed plenty well lit by the surrounding buildings, there were a few jalopies in there, but for the most part the cars parked here were pretty swanky and made me feel like it was safe to park my middle-​of-​the-​road car here because if someone were going to break into some cars, they’d probably go to the ones that look like there might actually be something of value inside, unlike mine which is mostly full of straw wrappers, those slip-​on pedicure shoes, cat hair, and Thai food stains.
There’s two ways to get in and out of the lot so this isn’t one of those things where you have to worry about being locked in, and the spaces aren’t ultra tight either.
I’ll totally be bookmarking this Park 1 for future use in the summer since I don’t live in the city and am pretty attached to having my car as a getaway vehicle since taking the train from the suburbs, turns out, isn’t as convenient or cost-​effective as I was imaging it to be. If fact, it would actually cost me more with train tickets and parking at the train station than to just use my own gas to drive in and park at Park1… and even if there’s traffic, it still takes about an hour less time to drive than work around the very limited weekend train schedule.
Again, I can’t really recommend this for weekday use as I haven’t used it then, but for the weekends this is pretty clutch place to park your car.

Not the best, But a lot better than last time.
