Parking
Parking Garage
We highly recommend our main parking garage, Centro Ybor Parking Garage, which is located at 1500 E 5th Ave, Tampa, FL 33605 and is a great place to park.
Street Parking
There is limited street parking along E. 7th Avenue as well as along N. 17th Street and N. 15th Street. Street parking is easier to find during the weekday and more limited on Fridays and Saturdays.
City-Owned Lots
We also recommend the city-owned lots, Ybor City Lots 3, 5, & 6. All three lots are located within three blocks of Pop Yarn. Disabled patrons with disabled placards or disabled license plates may park in any of the spaces (handicap or regular) inside of Ybor City Lots 3, 5, & 6 for up to four (4) hours free of charge. We DO NOT recommend parking in the 717 surface parking lots as those are privately-owned.
