See the link above for more options and directions. May be card only "Arena Area Lot 3" looks great for all day with a $3.00 daily max. Expect it to fill up quick it is located near Fulton and Weston. May be card only The "Ottawa & Fulton Ramp" between Ottawa, Ionia, Fulton and Louis seems good if you will be there all day and the Arena Lot 3 is full ($9.00 max). Hopefully this helps, but I usually end up circling around several times, get irritated and find the next thing I see.
