WALKING Hoofing it the old-fashioned way is definitely doable and will be the best way to get around the park. The most far-flung stops in the park footprint—CoMo Square to Twelve Point—are about a 15-minute walk. For a breakdown of all venue walking times, reference Page 54. BIKING Pedal power will get you around quickly and easily while avoiding parking headaches and keeping the air cleaner. There are lots of trails that lead to the park, thanks to our friends at Parks and Rec. The exterior pathway of the park is open to bikes, while interior paths of the park are pedestrian-only. Walnut Street will be limited to local residents, permitted vehicles, and cyclists with proper front/rear Walt’s Bike Shop providing free inspections and tuneups lighting. Bikes with proper lighting will be permitted on Walnut at night. Bike parking is provided near shuttle stops and south of CoMo Square. Need a bike? Rent one at Walt’s Bike Shop (573.886.9258) or Pedego Columbia (573.355.3248). Walt’s Bike Shop will offer a free Bike Inspection & Tuneup station near the Old Highway 63 shuttle stop from noon–6pm, Saturday and Sunday. Pedego Columbia will have a booth in CoMo Square with info on electric bikes and cleaner transportation sustainability programs at PedNet, the MO Bike Federation, the City of Columbia, and MU. RIDESHARE & TAXI Hail a rideshare or taxi throughout downtown or from the Old 63 parking lot at the Park. Call ahead to Taxi Terry’s (573.441.1414) or 5 Star Taxi (573.449.7827). PARKING In general, there is no parking available directly at the Park. There are several parking garages within walking distance of True/False shuttle stops downtown as well as ample on-street, metered parking throughout downtown (most meters have a two-hour limit). Meters are free before 9am, after 7pm, and all day on Sunday. Garages are your best bet for affordable, long-term parking and a great way to park once and walk to multiple destinations. The first hour you park in one is FREE! You can park in the garages as long as you need and anyone can park in permit spaces at night and on the weekends (permit spots are only held Mon-Fri, 8am-6pm). SHUTTLE Shuttles will be running from downtown to the park throughout the duration of the Fest, and parking is available in City garages. Shuttle pick-up and drop-off points downtown are Rose Music Hall, (1013 Park Ave.), N. Fifth St. & E. Walnut St. Parking Garage, Cherry & Eighth, and Ragtag Cinema (10 Hitt St.). Shuttle pick-up and drop-off points at the park are the Old 63 Parking Lot and Riechmann Pavilion. Shuttles will begin two hours before the first scheduled event and will complete one hour after the last event ends each day.
