Taos Parking Thank You Page

You have successfully booked your parking space in Taos.

1) Please sign the liability waiver.

Please send your signed liability waiver to contact@santafetotaos.org. Attach the waiver as an image or a pdf. Please use the subject line “Parking liability waiver”.

Click the image to the right to download the pdf waiver.

Your booking is not complete until the waiver is signed. Your spot could be taken by someone else until you have signed the waiver and returned it to us at contact@santafetotaos.org.

2) Print your parking placard

Place it on the dashboard of your car after you’ve parked at the Taos Youth and Family Center.

Click the image to the right to download the pdf placard.

The “reservation number” is the order number from your booking. Please include this; it will help us coordinate with you and the Youth & Family Center if necessary, but without displaying your personal information on the dashboard of your parked vehicle.

3) Where to park at the Taos Youth and Family Center

Parking is at the Taos Youth and Family Center at 407 Paseo Del Cañon E, Taos, NM 87571.

The parking spaces will be on your left as you pull into the Center’s large parking lot (the Center will be on your right as you pull in).

The SF2T parking spaces are in front of a row of five small evergreen trees that are about 10 feet tall. Five spaces, five trees. 🙂 Park in whatever space you want, so long as it’s in one of those spaces.

4) Please be a good guest.

Be quiet and friendly. Don’t leave trash or a mess. Say thank you. Consider a donation to the facility that’s so generously letting us use their parking lot. Ten days of parking at $7 per day would equate to a $70 donation. Just sayin’. You could also make a donation to the Santa Fe to Taos Trail. It takes a considerable amount of coordination and work to manage this free parking system. ✨Be quiet and friendly. Don’t leave trash or a mess. Say thank you.

Other details:

These five overnight parking spaces are available on a first come, first serve basis. They can be reserved for up to two weeks at a time.

These spaces will not accommodate any vehicle larger than a van or a medium-sized truck. If your vehicle is too large, please arrange another parking solution. 

Booking changes: Each parking or resupply booking includes one date change, subject to availability. Additional changes may require a new booking or a $25 administrative fee. Please choose your dates carefully; these systems require manual coordination and repeated changes create real administrative work.
