Where are the local pay parking lots and are they secure. Do you parking your own car or do they parking them?

At most public parking garages, you park your own car. In a few of them, they have valet available if you choose to use it.

If you Google "parking near me" it should display the nearest lots to you & you park your own car. There are usually only valet parking at hotels & restaurants, not park lots.
