Facility Overview
The 300 Marshall St Garage is a centrally located parking structure situated in the heart of downtown Shreveport, Louisiana. This facility serves as a primary hub for visitors navigating the city\'s commercial and entertainment districts. The structure is a multi-level concrete garage offering covered parking, which provides excellent protection from the elements, particularly the intense Louisiana sun and seasonal heavy rainfall. While standard passenger vehicles, sedans, and crossover SUVs are accommodated with ease, drivers operating high-roof transit vans or oversized commercial trucks should exercise caution as standard municipal garages of this vintage typically feature height clearances around 6 feet 8 inches.
