About this Location

Facility Overview

The 410 Greenbrier St Parking facility is a strategically positioned open-air surface parking facility situated in the East End historic and government district of Charleston, West Virginia. Located directly along the bustling Greenbrier Street (WV Route 114) corridor just south of Interstate 64/77 and north of the Kanawha River, this facility provides hassle-free parking for state government employees, business professionals, event attendees, and visitors heading to the West Virginia State Capitol grounds. The lot is thoughtfully arranged with clear lane markings, generous maneuvering lanes, and well-defined stalls that accommodate everything from compact passenger vehicles and mid-size sedans to full-size pickup trucks, extended SUVs, and high-roof transport vans. Because it is a level, open-air surface lot without an overhead canopy or parking deck restrictions, tall commercial vehicles, work vans, and rooftop cargo carriers face zero vertical clearance constraints.

Motorists arriving via Interstate 64 or Interstate 77 can take Exit 99 (Greenbrier Street / State Capitol), placing the facility less than two minutes from the highway off-ramp. Street ingress and egress are engineered for smooth turn-ins along Greenbrier Street, allowing easy access whether approaching southbound from Yeager Airport (CRW) or northbound from Kanawha Boulevard. When major events conclude at the Capitol grounds or Laidley Field, exiting traffic benefits from direct access back onto I-64/I-77 without having to navigate heavy downtown congestion.

For transit users, the property is closely connected to Kanawha Valley Regional Transportation Authority (KRT) bus routes operating along Washington Street East and Greenbrier Street.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Arrive Early During Legislative Sessions: Parking throughout the Greenbrier Street corridor fills quickly between January and March on legislative session days; plan to park before 8:30 AM for the best spot selection.
Check Event Schedules: On game days at UC Stadium / Laidley Field or major Capitol rallies, traffic on Greenbrier and Washington Streets increases significantly. Allow extra buffer time for arrivals.
Have Multiple Payment Methods: While many meters support mobile payment via app, keeping coins or an active credit card in your car ensures you never get delayed at the meter.
Know the Off-Peak Window: In many government-adjacent surface areas around the Capitol Complex, parking is often unmetered after 5:00 PM on weekdays and on weekends or recognized state holidays; always verify posted street and lot signage upon parking.
GPS Guidance: Set your navigation system directly to 410 Greenbrier St, Charleston, WV, and watch for approaching intersections as you pass Washington Street East.
