Facility Overview
The car park serving the Resort and Conference Center at Hyannis (located at 35 Scudder Avenue) provides extensive surface parking nestled on a sprawling 52-acre landscaped property in the West End of Hyannis, Massachusetts. Designed primarily to accommodate hotel guests, major corporate conferences, weddings, and local banquets, this open-air parking facility features paved bays with wide driving aisles and clearly demarcated stalls. Because it is an open-air surface lot without covered decks or low-clearance overhead barriers, the lot easily accommodates oversized vehicles, including full-size pickup trucks, large SUVs, conversion vans, and commercial passenger shuttles. Accessible parking stalls conforming to ADA standards are conveniently situated adjacent to the primary resort entrances and the main 16,000-square-foot conference wing, allowing for smooth, barrier-free access.

Visitor & Driver Tips
During large multi-day conferences or peak summer concert evenings at the Cape Cod Melody Tent, parking spaces on the property fill rapidly. If you are attending a major scheduled event, plan to arrive 30 to 45 minutes prior to the start time to secure a spot close to the event entrance. Follow all posted private property signage; during high-demand summer performances, parking attendants may monitor lot entrances to reserve space strictly for registered resort and conference guests. Non-resident visitors headed downtown or to the Melody Tent should verify parking permissions at the front desk or consult nearby municipal lots along North Street and the Hyannis Transportation Center if off-site alternatives are required.
