About this Location

Facility Overview

The Gateway Garage, managed by Propark Mobility and situated at 5 Evelyn Place in downtown Malden, Massachusetts, is a modern, multi-level covered parking structure serving both daily commuters and local visitors. Positioned immediately adjacent to the vibrant Malden Center district, the garage provides clean, multi-story sheltered parking that protects vehicles from New England\'s harsh winter snow and summer heat. The facility features wide interior driving lanes, clear directional signage, and clearly striped parking stalls. It comfortably accommodates standard passenger sedans, compact cars, station wagons, and standard-sized crossover SUVs. However, as a covered multi-deck deck with typical overhead height clearances (approximately 6 feet 8 inches), drivers operating oversized commercial vans, lifted pickup trucks, or vehicles equipped with roof racks or cargo boxes should verify entrance clearance signs prior to entering.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Strategically situated in the heart of Malden, the Gateway Garage serves as a key parking nexus for local entertainment, dining, and transit access:

Malden Center MBTA Station: Located less than a 3-minute walk (under 500 feet) from the facility, providing direct, rapid access to Boston via the Orange Line subway and the MBTA Commuter Rail (Haverhill Line).
Boda Borg Malden: A premier real-world quest and puzzle center located just a 4-minute walk away on Pleasant Street.
Downtown Malden Dining & Breweries: Walking distance to a bustling strip of diverse eateries, cafes, and popular local venues like Faces Brewing Co. and Hugh O\'Neill\'s Restaurant & Pub (3–5 minutes walk).
Malden City Hall & Government Center: Approximately a 5-minute walk for municipal business, civic meetings, and community services.
TD Garden & Downtown Boston Events: Thanks to the Orange Line connection right outside the garage, patrons can park here and reach TD Garden in North Station within 15 to 20 minutes for Celtics and Bruins games or major concerts without dealing with congested Boston traffic.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress and egress are straightforward via Evelyn Place, which connects directly to Pleasant Street, Florence Street, and Route 60 (Centre Street). Route 60 provides swift arterial connections eastward toward Route 1 and westward toward Interstate 93 and Route 28, making this garage exceptionally easy to reach from surrounding North Shore and Greater Boston communities. The facility\'s immediate proximity to the Malden Center transit station makes it one of the premier Park-and-Ride choices for commuters traveling into downtown Boston, Assembly Row, Cambridge, or the Longwood Medical Area. During evening rush hours, traffic on Centre Street can be heavy, but multiple lane configurations enable steady dispersal.

Visitor & Driver Tips

For morning commuters utilizing the Orange Line, arriving prior to 8:00 AM on weekdays ensures optimal floor selection and closer proximity to the pedestrian exits. If you are attending an evening game or concert at TD Garden, consider paying through mobile parking apps in advance to secure a guaranteed space and expedite your post-event departure. Always double-check vehicle clearance markers at the Evelyn Place entrance if you drive a full-size pickup or have mounted roof attachments.
