Overview & Suitability
Enmarket Arena Parking Lot G is a primary official surface parking lot situated at 1141 W Gwinnett St, serving the state-of-the-art Enmarket Arena in Savannah, Georgia. This lot is predominantly utilized for general event parking, making it perfect for concertgoers, Savannah Ghost Pirates hockey fans, and family event attendees. It is designed to accommodate standard passenger cars, SUVs, and light trucks. Unlike specialized RV parks, overnight camping and oversized motorhome parking are restricted, and the lot serves strictly as an event-focused day-use parking facility.
Access, Dimensions & Clearance
As an open-air surface parking lot, Lot G has no overhead height restrictions, making it suitable for taller passenger vehicles, such as lifted trucks or passenger vans. Access is managed through designated entry gates along West Gwinnett Street. Drivers should note that the surrounding area often experiences heavy traffic congestion and construction-related delays around event times. It is highly recommended to follow official, event-specific routing instructions rather than standard GPS to avoid neighborhood backups and road closures. Due to post-event traffic routing, Lot G is highly favored by locals as it provides relatively straightforward egress towards Interstate 516 and I-16, allowing drivers to bypass some of the heaviest bottlenecks on Stiles Avenue.
Parking Rates, Tariffs & Booking
Parking rates at Lot G typically range from $15.00 to $30.00, depending on the nature of the event, though prices can increase significantly to $40.00 or more for major sell-out concerts or high-demand shows.
- Pre-booking: It is strongly advised to pre-purchase parking passes online through platforms like ParkWhiz or SpotHero prior to arrival. Day-of parking is subject to dynamic pricing and limited availability.
- Payment Methods: Lot G, along with the rest of the Enmarket Arena campus, operates on a completely cashless basis. Payments must be made via credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. Cash is not accepted at the venue gates.
Security & Amenities
Lot G is actively managed and staffed during event hours. The facility features standard security measures to ensure a safe environment for patrons and their vehicles:
- Staffing & Traffic Control: Event staff and local law enforcement (including the Savannah Police Department and Board of Education Police) are on-site to direct traffic and monitor the area.
- Lighting: The lot is equipped with overhead high-intensity lighting for safe navigation after dark.
- Tailgating Policy: Please note that tailgating of any kind is strictly prohibited in Lot G. Activities such as grilling, setting up tents, or blocking empty spaces are not permitted.
Strategic Alternative
For budget-conscious attendees or those wishing to avoid post-event traffic altogether, a popular strategic alternative is to park at municipal garages in the Historic Downtown Savannah area (such as the Savannah Civic Center Lot, Liberty Street Garage, or Robinson Garage) and utilize the official Enmarket Arena Shuttle Service. This shuttle runs from the corner of Liberty and Barnard Streets starting approximately 1.5 to 2 hours before events, costing $5.00 to $10.00 per person and providing a convenient drop-off right at the arena. Alternatively, Lot G remains one of the fastest exit options for those choosing to drive, offering a quicker route to major highways than other on-site lots.
