About this Location

Facility Overview

Downtown Parking at 87 New Street provides open-air surface parking situated directly in the heart of downtown Woodbridge, New Jersey. Designed with an easy-to-maneuver drive aisle and standard perpendicular parking stalls, this surface lot delivers straightforward parking without the navigation challenges or height restrictions typical of subterranean decks or multi-story garages. Because it is an unobstructed outdoor surface facility, it effortlessly accommodates compact passenger sedans, crossovers, full-size SUVs, pickup trucks, and taller commercial or conversion vans that cannot clear standard low-clearance parking garages.
