Parking

The Square is divided into four quadrants by Shaker Boulevard (Ohio 87) which runs east-west, and by North and South Moreland Boulevard which enter the Square at the north and south. Each quadrant has a building with stores and restaurants and offices on the second floor.

Metered parking is available. Sorry, but without them all the spaces would be used by RTA riders. Metered spaces are in gray on the map below.

The meters along Shaker Boulevard are owned by Cleveland. The meters around the Square are owned by the Coral Company and have a button to press for 15 minutes of free parking. The meters in the northwest quadrant, behind Dodds and US Bank, are Coral-owned but don't have free short term parking.

  

Free parking is available in two large parking lots at the Square, shown below in blue:

  • In the northeast quadrant.
    Enter this lot from North Moreland Boulevard
    There's a new walkway through to Shaker Square, so you don't need to walk to North Moreland. It is to the right of the CVS drivethrough window.
  • In the southwest quadrant.
    This lot is behind Shaker Square Cinemas and Dave's.
    Enter this lot from Drexmore Road. Many spaces are marked "Daves" but there are plenty of other spaces. If you are driving east to the Square on Shaker Boulevard will find it very convenient to enter this lot from Shaker Boulevard.
Valet parking is available at Fire, Sasamatsu and Sergio's Saravá restaurants.
