- A limited number of handicapped parking spaces are available in the small lot to the immediate northeast of the amphitheater. Look for a narrow road 1 block to the north of the main lot entrance, labeled with a “Jerry Garcia Amphitheater” sign, then follow the road as it dog-legs up to the amphitheater. This lot is patrolled and vehicles not displaying a proper placard will be cited.
