Facility Overview
The Lumberyard Parking Garage is a modern, multi-level structured parking facility centrally located at 610 N Atlantic Ave in the heart of historic Collingswood, New Jersey. Serving as the primary parking hub for The LumberYard mixed-use development and the bustling downtown shopping and dining corridor, this clean and well-maintained deck provides both covered and rooftop open-air parking spaces. The structure easily accommodates standard passenger vehicles, compact sedans, crossovers, and standard full-size SUVs. While full-size pickup trucks can comfortably navigate the facility, drivers of lifted vehicles or high-roof commercial vans should remain mindful of standard parking garage clearance overhead bars posted at the main vehicular entrances.

Visitor & Driver Tips
During peak dinner rush hours on Friday and Saturday evenings, as well as Saturday mornings during the Farmers\' Market season, spaces on the lower levels fill quickly; head directly to the upper deck for prompt and hassle-free space availability. Always remember your license plate number prior to stepping away, as automated pay-by-plate systems and mobile applications require accurate vehicle information. If you are driving a large SUV or truck, opt for end-cap spaces on the upper levels to ensure generous turning clearance.
