GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Parking during ArtPrize can be a challenge at times.
It’s expected to be extremely busy downtown this weekend and it is a good idea to have a parking plan before you head out.
Two smartphone apps will help you navigate parking during this year’s competition: GR Park and Parkmobile.
GR Park provides a list of all the parking lots, how much they are, where they are located and how many spots they have left.
Parkmobile allows you to input what meter you are parked at, pay, then be on your way. Keep in mind some city parking meters charge during the weekend.
