Facility Overview
The 100 Broadway Garage is a multi-level covered parking structure centrally positioned in downtown Camden, New Jersey. Located at 100 Broadway near the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, this facility serves as an essential parking destination for the surrounding civic, medical, and educational districts. The garage offers weather-protected parking across multiple elevated decks with well-defined circulation lanes, two-way ramps, and clearly designated pedestrian stairwells and elevator bays. Standard passenger sedans, compact crossovers, minivans, and mid-to-full-size SUVs can park comfortably throughout the facility. Drivers of oversized pickup trucks, roof-rack mounted sport utility vehicles, or high-roof commercial vans should pay close attention to posted vertical overhead clearance warnings (typically around 6 feet 8 inches to 7 feet) at the garage portal, as extended-height vehicles are better suited for perimeter open-air surface lots.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Situated in the heart of Camden\'s transit and institutional hub, 100 Broadway Garage places visitors within brisk walking distance of several major regional institutions and waterfront destinations:
- Cooper University Health Care & MD Anderson Cancer Center: Located just a few blocks south along Broadway, providing convenient overflow parking for healthcare professionals, outpatients, and hospital visitors (approx. 5 to 7-minute walk).
- Walter Rand Transportation Center: Positioned virtually across the street, offering direct multimodal connections across South Jersey and into Philadelphia.
- Camden City Hall & Camden County Courthouse: Situated 3 to 4 blocks north, making it an efficient option for legal professionals, county employees, and civic visitors.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Entering and exiting the 100 Broadway Garage is straightforward via primary access lanes directly on Broadway or adjacent secondary cross streets like MLK Boulevard. The facility is exceptionally well-connected to major arterial roadways, including Interstate 676 (North-South Freeway), Route 30 (Admiral Wilson Boulevard), and the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, allowing drivers to cross into Center City Philadelphia in under ten minutes during non-peak hours. Transit riders enjoy peerless regional connectivity: the Walter Rand Transportation Center sits right next door, serving the PATCO Speedline for rapid 24/7 train transit into Center City Philadelphia or east to Lindenwold, as well as the NJ TRANSIT River LINE light rail running between the Camden Waterfront and Trenton.

Visitor & Driver Tips
During peak morning commuting hours (7:30 AM to 9:30 AM), traffic along Broadway and MLK Boulevard increases steadily, so allow extra time to enter and find a stall on the upper tiers. If you are parking here for a concert at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion or an event on the Camden Waterfront, consider hopping aboard the NJ TRANSIT River LINE at Walter Rand Transportation Center; it costs only a couple of dollars and delivers you directly to the waterfront gates in minutes, completely bypassing post-concert gridlock on the waterfront roads. Always take note of the level and pillar section where you parked, keep your payment receipt or ticket in a safe place, and ensure all personal valuables are stowed out of sight prior to heading to your destination.
