Facility Overview
The Ann - Bank Garage (commonly designated by the Morristown Parking Authority as the Ann/Bank Street Garage or Lot #12) is a premier multi-level covered parking structure situated at 41 Bank Street in historic downtown Morristown, New Jersey. Featuring structured deck parking across multiple tiers, this well-maintained facility protects vehicles from the elements while providing straightforward circulation and spacious driving lanes. The structure is ideally suited for compact vehicles, sedans, crossovers, and standard SUVs. While full-size pickup trucks can comfortably maneuver through the lower bays and designated wide stalls, drivers of oversized utility vehicles or high-roof commercial vans should heed posted overhead clearance restrictions (typically 6 feet 8 inches) and consider surface parking alternatives if operating oversized vehicles.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Perfectly situated in the bustling core of Morristown, the Ann - Bank Garage provides immediate pedestrian access to the town\'s most prominent cultural, civic, and commercial destinations. Visitors are just a 3- to 5-minute walk (less than 0.2 miles) from the historic Morristown Green, a vibrant public park surrounded by boutique shopping and historic landmarks. The premier Mayo Performing Arts Center (MPAC), which hosts renowned concerts, touring theatrical productions, and comedy acts, is only a 6-minute walk south on South Street. Legal professionals and civic visitors appreciate the 4-minute walk to the Morris County Courthouse and county municipal administrative offices. The garage also anchors Morristown\'s famed dining and nightlife corridor along South Street, Bank Street, and Market Street, placing dozens of popular bistros, upscale steakhouses, and craft cocktail lounges within effortless walking distance.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Access to the garage is exceptionally convenient, offering multiple ingress and egress points connecting via Bank Street and Ann Street. This dual-street orientation facilitates smooth departures even during peak evening entertainment rush hours and morning business commutes. Regional vehicular access is seamless: Route 124, Route 202, and New Jersey Route 510 directly converge on the downtown square, with swift connections to Interstate 287 (Exits 35 and 36) situated just over a mile away. For rail commuters and regional travelers, the Morristown NJ Transit Train Station—serving the Morris & Essex Line with direct service to Midtown Manhattan’s New York Penn Station and Hoboken Terminal—is situated an easy 10- to 12-minute walk (approx. 0.5 miles) to the east.

Visitor & Driver Tips
On evenings when high-profile performances take place at MPAC or during weekend dinner rushes, spaces can fill up rapidly; arriving 30 to 45 minutes ahead of curtain call or dining reservations guarantees effortless parking. Be sure to note your stall number or level when exiting via the stairwell or elevator to make vehicle retrieval quick and painless. Drivers entering from Bank Street should follow internal wayfinding signs directing vehicles to upper tiers if ground-level spaces are indicated as full.
