The City Hall parking garage is free for city events such as Light Up the Lawn, and the city points Museum of Art visitors to it as well; the museum also validates parking in the Modera building lot, entered from Sample Road. Large events such as the Fourth of July at Mullins Park use the lots at the Coral Springs Center for the Arts and the Coral Springs Gymnasium, and parking there fills early.
