Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a smooth experience, consider the following: Always pre-book your spot via official parking apps to secure the best rates and guarantee entry, especially during busy weekends or local events. Because of the 6-foot height restriction, ensure your vehicle (especially those with roof racks or cargo carriers) is within the safety limits before entering. If you are arriving during peak weekday morning hours, allow an extra 15 minutes for local traffic navigation around the Centre Street corridor.
