Dean Ave on the grass, unless you have a car with no ground clearence. Give yourself an extra 5-10 minutes. You'll find a spot and wont have to walk far.
I parked on 32nd Ave, or maybe it was Street, I dunno. We just walked the few blocks. Going in wasn't bad, but after walking around for 10ish hours the walk back took forever.
Just drive around the west side of the fairgrounds, we saw a ton of parking down there. We ended up parking in someone's driveway for $5, we were on Lyon street maybe 5 minutes walk from the entrance.
I always have the best luck parking in the neigborhoods across the street. The main reason I like it is because it is patrolled constantly. Any time I parl off the street it seems my car gets broken into...

if the fair lot is open, park there for $6. It is worth the extra $1 to not have to park and walk from someone's lawn. Also, the shuttle bus is rediculous. $2 for adults and $1 for kids. That can easily add up to more than the $6 you would pay to park at the fair, not to mention the time it takes to catch a bus back to your car.
Parked at Toad's Tavern which is behind the Burger King at the corner of the state fairgrounds. $5, just a walk down the street to the main gate. Sunday morning parking was nuts around 9:30am. I usually come right down 30th from Euclid with no problems and it was backed up clear past Easton and I bet I didn't move 1/2 a mile in 20 minutes so first chance I got I took some side streets and found the closet spot I could outside the fairgrounds that was charging reasonable.
