About this Location

Facility Overview

The Fayette & Walton Lot, managed by Syracuse Parking Services (SPS), is a premier open-air surface parking facility located in the heart of downtown Syracuse at 345 W Fayette St. Its convenient, street-level layout makes it an exceptionally accessible choice for drivers who prefer simple, no-hassle entry and exit compared to navigating multi-level parking garages.
