About this Location

Facility Overview

The Fleet Reserve Lot, situated at 110 Compromise Street in downtown historic Annapolis, MD, provides prime waterfront parking directly along Annapolis Harbor and Ego Alley. Operating as an open-air surface parking lot, this facility offers an exceptionally straightforward parking experience compared to cramped municipal garages. Because it is an open-air lot with no overhead structures, it features unrestricted vertical clearance, making it an ideal choice for standard sedans, lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, and passenger vans that exceed typical parking garage ceiling limits.
