Facility Overview
The parking facility servicing the Harrisburg Transportation Center, commonly known as Transitpark, is a primary choice for travelers using Amtrak, Greyhound, and Trailways services. Located at 815 Market Street (with entrances on 10th Street), this surface lot provides a convenient, open-air parking environment with approximately 800 spaces. Designed for high-volume accessibility, the lot layout is straightforward and well-marked. Because it is an open-air surface facility, it accommodates standard passenger vehicles, full-size SUVs, and pickup trucks with ease, as there are no low-hanging ceilings or vertical clearance restrictions typically found in enclosed garages.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Situated in the heart of Harrisburg, this lot is perfectly positioned for those navigating both business and leisure. It is approximately a 5-minute walk from the Harrisburg Transportation Center. Nearby attractions include the Pennsylvania State Capitol complex, located about half a mile away, and a variety of dining and business hubs in downtown Harrisburg. The facility is ideal for daily commuters, Amtrak passengers seeking reliable long-term storage for their vehicles, and visitors exploring the city's historic core.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
The facility offers convenient ingress and egress via two entrances located on 10th Street, just south of Market Street. Its location near major city arteries ensures that drivers can enter and exit the downtown area efficiently. Transit connectivity is exceptional, as the lot is adjacent to the regional hub for Amtrak's Keystone and Pennsylvanian lines, as well as intercity bus lines. Local bus services (Capitol Area Transit) are also readily available at the nearby Transportation Center.
