About this Location

Facility Overview

Gott’s Court Garage, located at 25 Calvert Street in the heart of historic downtown Annapolis, Maryland, is one of the city\'s most central and convenient municipal parking decks. This multi-level covered parking garage features well-marked stalls, elevator access, and dual pedestrian pathways connecting directly to Calvert Street and the rear courtyard facing West Street. Designed primarily for standard passenger sedans, compact vehicles, crossovers, and standard SUVs, the garage features a posted vertical vehicle clearance of 6 feet 8 inches (2.03 meters). Drivers of oversized vehicles, high-roof conversion vans, or trucks equipped with elevated roof racks should exercise caution and consider nearby open-air surface parking at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium or other designated oversized facilities.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
