About this Location

Facility Overview

The 55b Richmond Terrace Garage provides secure, covered multi-level vehicle parking situated right in the civic and cultural heart of St. George on Staten Island\'s North Shore. Positioned adjacent to municipal courthouses, waterfront developments, and prime transit hubs, this structured facility offers a sheltered refuge from seasonal weather. The garage is engineered to accommodate standard passenger sedans, crossovers, minivans, and mid-sized SUVs within clearly delineated bays. Drivers of lifted pickup trucks, full-size extended vans, or vehicles carrying rooftop storage cargo should observe posted clearance signage upon approach (standard clearance is typically 6 feet 8 inches) to ensure seamless maneuvering through ramps and interior drive aisles.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

This parking structure boasts unmatched access to Staten Island\'s most famous waterfront attractions, civic destinations, and cultural landmarks, making it a prime hub for commuters, visitors, and eventgoers alike:

Staten Island Ferry (St. George Terminal): Located less than a 5-minute walk (under 0.3 miles) away, offering iconic, 24/7 fare-free ferry rides directly across New York Harbor to Lower Manhattan.
Empire Outlets: Situated just moments away down the Richmond Terrace corridor, featuring premier designer retail shopping, waterfront dining, and seasonal activations.
Staten Island University Hospital Community Park: Home of the Staten Island FerryHawks minor league baseball team, located within a 5-minute stroll for baseball games, live concerts, and harbor-view events.
Historic St. George Theatre: A short walk up the hill (approx. 6 minutes), hosting headlining concerts, theatrical productions, comedy shows, and seasonal revues.
Richmond County Supreme Court & Staten Island Borough Hall: Directly adjacent, making this garage the premier choice for jury duty, legal professionals, county personnel, and administrative appointments.
Staten Island Museum & National Lighthouse Museum: Both located nearby along the St. George waterfront cultural district.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Vehicles can access the garage entrance directly from Richmond Terrace, situated between Borough Place and Wall Street. Richmond Terrace acts as a central east-west arterial roadway connecting the St. George waterfront directly to the Staten Island Expressway (I-278) via Clove Road or Bay Street, providing straightforward regional access to Brooklyn via the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge and New Jersey via the Goethals or Bayonne bridges. Public transit connections are unmatched: the adjacent St. George Terminal serves as the northern terminus of the Staten Island Railway (SIR) and acts as the central hub for dozens of MTA local and express bus routes (including S40, S42, S44, S46, S48, S51, S52, S61, S62, S74, S76, S78, and SIM express routes to Manhattan).

Visitor & Driver Tips

Because St. George serves as the focal point for Staten Island municipal administration and ferry transit, morning commuter hours (7:00 AM to 9:30 AM) and evening baseball or concert start times see elevated entry traffic along Richmond Terrace. Drivers traveling during these peak windows should allow an extra 10 to 15 minutes for entry and ticket processing. Keep track of your parking level and bay marker before taking the elevator down to the pedestrian exits. If attending a sold-out weekend event or evening show at St. George Theatre, pre-booking digital parking or arriving at least 45 minutes ahead of curtain time ensures an easy stall selection and stress-free departure.
