Facility Overview
Ferry Parking Garage 1, located at 500 Ave at Port Imperial in Weehawken, NJ, serves as a primary, multi-level structured parking facility designed to accommodate commuters and visitors traveling into Manhattan via the NY Waterway ferry system. The garage features a robust, covered layout that protects vehicles from the elements, making it an excellent choice for extended stays. While the facility is well-suited for standard passenger vehicles, SUVs, and smaller crossovers, drivers of high-roof vans or oversized commercial trucks should be mindful of standard garage height restrictions typical of structured parking in this area.
