Downtown Oxnard is laid out on lettered and numbered streets around Plaza Park, the square with the pagoda bandstand on Fifth Street between B and C streets. Centennial Plaza and its movie theater face the park, Heritage Square with its restored Victorian houses is two blocks south at Seventh and A, and the John C. Zaragoza Transit Center, where Amtrak, Metrolink and the buses meet, is on East Fourth Street, about three blocks from the park. Oxnard Boulevard runs north and south through downtown and carries most of the through traffic.
This is an everyday riding district more than a destination: commuters leaving a scooter at the station, people who live in the older neighborhoods on either side, and riders who come in for dinner on A Street. We are mobile and work only on motorcycles and scooters. We replace lost keys, duplicate and program keys, extract broken ones and repair ignition and seat locks at the bike. Photo ID and the registration or title are required.
Where bikes get parked downtown
The city's tourism office says street parking is free through most of downtown, with time limits shown on the signs, and that public lots are close to Heritage Square, Plaza Park and Centennial Plaza. There is also a downtown parking garage at Fourth and B streets and a public lot behind the library at Second and A streets. Note the cross streets when you park, because that is what we will ask for.
- Plaza Park, on Fifth Street between B and C streets.
- Centennial Plaza, across from the park.
- Heritage Square, at Seventh and A streets.
- Downtown parking garage, at Fourth and B streets.
- John C. Zaragoza Transit Center, on East Fourth Street.
Festival days
Plaza Park hosts the Oxnard Salsa Festival, the Tamale Festival, the Christmas tree lighting, Juneteenth and the Multicultural Festival, and Heritage Square has summer concerts. Visit Oxnard says designated event parking areas are usually marked during large events. If streets near the park are closed and your bike is inside the closure, tell us the nearest open corner. We will bring our tools in on foot from there.
Station parking
Riders who take the train to Los Angeles or Santa Barbara often discover a missing key when they get back in the evening. Visit Oxnard describes free short-term parking of one to three days in the main lot, and free long-term parking next to the old train station building, where you give security the vehicle's make, model and plate number. Read the signs in the part of the lot you used. If you get back after dark, wait in the lit area by the station building.

Local notes for Downtown Oxnard riders
- Downtown blocks look alike after dark. Give us two cross streets, for example Fifth and B, not just a business name that may be closed when we arrive.
- Free curb parking still has time limits. A bike that cannot move may overstay, so check the sign and mention the limit when you call.
- On festival days, expect our vehicle to park outside any street closure. Meeting us at an open corner is faster than waiting at the bike.
