Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a stress-free parking experience, we recommend using mobile parking apps or the Propark website to check real-time availability. Since this facility is a high-demand location, pre-booking your spot is highly advised, especially during peak commuter hours or on weekends when the Grove Street area becomes particularly busy. Please be aware that this facility generally does not allow in-and-out privileges for standard visitor parking, so plan your trip accordingly. When using GPS, ensure you are directed to the main entrance on Christopher Columbus Drive and allow a few extra minutes for navigation during local rush hours.
