About this Location

Facility Overview

The 107 St. Paul Street parking facility (also accessed via 133 College Street) is a conveniently positioned downtown surface parking lot situated in the heart of Burlington, Vermont. Located at the intersection of St. Paul and College Streets, this open-air parking lot offers straightforward, at-grade vehicle access without the height restrictions and tight ramp clearances of multi-level covered garages. Standard passenger sedans, compact crossovers, large pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, and commercial vans with roof gear or ski racks can navigate the driving lanes and enter stalls comfortably, making it an ideal choice for Vermont travelers who drive taller four-wheel-drive vehicles.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Because of its prime proximity to Church Street and downtown performance venues, spaces tend to fill quickly on Friday and Saturday evenings, as well as during major community events like the Discover Jazz Festival, Burlington Winter Lights, and summer farmers markets. Drivers are advised to arrive 20 to 30 minutes before showtime or dinner reservations. Make sure to note your license plate number before walking away, as modern municipal and private meters in Burlington use digital pay-by-plate verification. For winter visitors, adhere to posted winter parking ban notifications during major snow events to avoid municipal ticketing or towing.
