We recommend that attendees of The Perfect Gift tournament use one of Evanston's all-day garages. While Evanston has a number of metered spaces, including a garage underneath Evanston Public Library and a surface lot behind the library, the need to constantly feed meters can prove disrupting to tournament play.

Metered spots in Evanston are enforced until 9:00 pm, and cost $0.25 for each 30 minutes. There is usually a 2-hour maximum time limit to park in any metered spot, and Evanston police do enforce the limit. Parking tickets for an expired meter are $10.00 -- if you want to risk getting a parking ticket, you might as well park in one of the garages.
