About this Location

Facility Overview

The Avidia Bank South Street Parking Lot is an open-air surface parking facility situated at 30 South Street in the heart of downtown Hudson, Massachusetts. Serving primarily as a private employee lot during standard daytime business hours, the facility strategically partners with the local business district to offer community parking during peak dining and nightlife evenings. The lot features an organized, flat asphalt surface with clear lane markings, generous turning radiuses, and standard parking stalls. Because it is an open-sky surface lot without height barriers or low ceilings, it provides unobstructed vertical clearance, making it fully suitable for compact cars, sedans, full-size SUVs, pickup trucks, and high-profile passenger vans.
