Is there an app or map that shows parking lots? I did a Google search but I found just a very few lots. I'm sure it can't be right. Is there a better way to google to find parking downtown?

My specific example... I was just trying to find parking near Death & Taxes. The closest lot seems to be at the convention center. I don't mind walking but I would like to know if that is correct.

I don't go downtown often so I am totally clueless.

EDIT: Found my answer in another thread. Still would like any comments about parking...

I've usually had no issue finding parking on the street, even on the weekends, but there is a lot right across from Marbles. It's a short walk to Death and Taxes. I've also seen other lots, but haven't paid attention the exact location.

Get Around :: Parking :: Downtown Raleigh

Also fun fact that I recently learned - on Sunday mornings until 1 PM you can park anywhere in downtown Raleigh legally, even in No Parking zones

On Android there’s the DTRaleigh app from the Raleigh Downtown Alliance. I have no idea if it’s available on Apple but it’s really helpful. The parking tab shows you where all the parking decks are and how much they are currently. I’m not sure if it shows that for public parking lots too but I would think it does. It also shows a live feed of the R Line so even if you have to park farther away from your destination you can see how close the next free bus is to get you across town.

This is an app to pay for parking in some of city's lots. Passport is the name. Below is a link with information.

We park in the lot by marbles when going to death and taxes, which is amazing by the way.

To piggyback on that, I've never had a problem in Raleigh or any city I've visited, by searching for "parking" in google maps.

You couldn't find a place to park downtown 60 years ago

There is a also second small surface lot a few doors up the street from Marbles. When we go downtown (always evening or weekends) we take a quick look for street parking within 2 blocks of our destination. If nothing is readily available then we go to either of the two parking garages on Wilmington. One is adjacent to the bus terminal, and the other one is a short block north.
