    • Private parking garages at the JUMP/Simplot complex are also open to the public Saturday and Sunday. This is paid parking on the 3rd and 4th levels of the JUMP garage or in Simplot's below ground parking garage, with the entrance to both located on Myrtle Street between 11th and 9th Streets. Please note, the below ground parking garage is only available after 4pm Friday and until 6am Monday. Credit/debit cards accepted only.
