Paradise City Car Parks
From Burnopedia, the Burnout wiki
Paradise City Parking (abbreviated "PCP") is likely to be the municipal organization that manages Parking structures and infra-structures throughout Paradise City.
There are several classes of car parks with different characteristics:
- The official "Yellow Sign" parking lots marked by large "P" signs that the player can discover, access and use to find Discoveries or even complete Online Freeburn Challenges.
- The "Green Sign" parking lots, which can be accessed by the player but not always, they can lead to discoveries but their placement is generally purely decorative.
- The other unmarked car parks, or unique ones such as the PCP Inspiral Car Park located on Big Surf Island.

[edit] Yellow Sign Car Parks
Paradise City features 11 "Yellow Sign" Car Parks, all of which are located only in Palm Bay Heights, Downtown Paradise and Harbor Town. There is one Car Park per sub-district, except Rockridge Cliffs in Harbor Town which doesn't feature one.
Most of the Car Parks are 4 stories high (3 of which are only 2 stories high) and have a capacity of around 400 vehicles, but all are of the same design and bear the same iconic yellow "P" sign that makes them so easily seen.
They can be accessed at all times (this includes Offline Events) but reaching their rooftops isn't a smooth maneuver and players can loose control of their vehicles when trying to gain speed on the ramps, especially hazardous during Stunt Run where a player can loose his combo score. The only objectives linked to these Yellow Sign Car Parks are part of several Freeburn Challenges, otherwise the game doesn't point players to these buildings.
Once on the roof of these structures, players may find a number of Ramps that lead either to a Billboard, inaccessible areas that themselves lead to additional discoveries, Super Jump ramps or normal ramps that let players drop down back onto the streets below. Garages are useful to find the last 400 Smashes, 120 Billboards and 50 Super Jumps.
Discovering all 11 Car Parks earns the "Paid and Displayed" Paradise Award in conjunction with a PlayStation 3 Trophy and an Xbox 360 Achievement worth 20 Gamer Points.
[edit] Hudson Avenue Garage
It offers a unique association with a back alley shortcut running between buildings and linking to the westbound (bottom) I-88 lane. Interestingly enough, this parking also offers a Makeshift Ramp that hurls players through a Billboard and onto the westbound (top) I-88 lane. |
[edit] Young Avenue Garage
The top of the garage features a ramp that leads onto the roof of an underground parking lot that also has a billboard. The western ramp sends the driver's car soaring through the air towards the second billboard that can be smashed from this rooftop, it is further away so a great deal of velocity is required to reach it. |
[edit] Ocean View Garage
It offers a notable number of jumps, one of which leads to a building's roof that itself features a ramp that can be used to reach a Billboard. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
[edit] Hamilton Avenue Garage
It offers 3 jumps and an extra ramp on a nearby rooftop, but apart from a single Billboard this Car Park doesn't offer many Discoveries. The southern ramp can be used to access the El Train tracks as well.
|
[edit] Hall Avenue Garage
The Car Park features a Super Jump ramp, but it will only launch players back down onto Gabriel Avenue. The south-eastern ramp however takes players on the roof of a train yard warehouse and finally guides them to a Billboard. |
[edit] Park Vale Garage
It features 3 jumps, one of which leads players through a series of under construction buildings that ends when they smash the Billboard and drop down on Hall Avenue. A Freeburn Challenge takes place in these buildings. The other ramps aren't as exciting; The western ramp leads to a Billboard while the eastern ramp launches cars eastbound on Lambert Parkway. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
[edit] Manners Avenue Garage
The 4 story Car Park features 2 normal ramps, one drops drivers down onto Manners Avenue while the second takes players over some roofs and finally leads them through a Billboard and in the Construction site along Gabriel Avenue. The third ramp (which is a Super Jump) hurls players through the air and onto the eastbound lane of I-88. |
[edit] Webster Avenue Garage
Despite the fact that there are no visible barriers blocking the opening of the wall, players cannot use the first sloped access ramp as a Natural Ramp to jump through the (apparently) open space between the pillars and land on the I-88. |
[edit] Angus Wharf Garage
Another reason for this Car Park's popularity is the fact that a significant number of Freeburn Challenges take place here: its Super Jump ramp hurls fast enough players onto the roof of Green Sign Car Park located on the opposite side of Angus Wharf. This secondary car park offers more Discoveries. The southern ramp leads drivers to a Billboard while the last Makeshift Ramp simply drops players back down onto Angus Wharf. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
[edit] River City Garage
Gameplay-wise the Garage offers numerous jumps: one will take players down onto a rooftop which leads to a Billboard. The second jump takes players through a series of Downtown Paradise rooftops South-West and eventually leads players to the I-88, another Billboard is located there also. The third roof ramp doesn't take drivers through Discoveries. and brings them down onto Glancey Avenue. |
[edit] Fry Avenue Garage
The ramps will let players access a variety of rooftops, the western ramp will take players on a roof that features another ramp which will launch players over 3rd Street and onto the back of the roof of the DJR Sports store, the expedition continues on and players will smash a Billboard and finally drop down to street level on Franke Avenue. The north-eastern ramp will reproduce nearly the same experience and theoretically leads to the same rooftop, but in practice inexperienced players will find that taking the second ramp with enough speed and control is somewhat difficult. When taken well, the ramp hurls players over 3rd Street and onto the tip of the DJR Sports store where a Billboard is located. This is also part of a Challenge's goal. |
[edit] Shires Drive Garage
It features some Big Surf Island Discoveries such as 2 Billboards but players will need to move up to different rooftops (Holness Hotel) to reach more of them (they are not taken into account here). Players can choose to drop down anywhere from the 1st and 3rd stories as the walls have been removed. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
