Facility Overview
The Malden Gateway Garage is a prominent, multi-level covered parking structure conveniently situated at 1 Evelyn Place in the vibrant heart of downtown Malden, Massachusetts. Designed to accommodate daily transit commuters, local office workers, diners, and residential guests, this secure parking deck offers hundreds of sheltered parking spaces across several tiers. The garage is engineered to accommodate standard passenger vehicles, sedans, crossovers, and full-size SUVs comfortably. However, due to standard multi-tier structural ceiling heights (maximum vehicle clearance is approximately 6 feet 8 inches), high-roof cargo vans, lifted pickup trucks with roof racks, and oversized commercial vehicles should exercise caution or seek alternative street-level surface parking.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Boasting an unbeatable central location, the Malden Gateway Garage sits directly adjacent to the bustling Malden Center commercial core and entertainment district. Visitors are within a short 2 to 5-minute walk of notable dining, cultural, and recreation venues, including the popular real-life quest gaming venue Boda Borg Malden, local favorite breweries like Faces Brewing Co., and a diverse culinary hub along Pleasant Street and Exchange Street featuring eateries like All Seasons Table and District Kitchen. Furthermore, because of its direct foot access to the Malden Center MBTA transit station, this facility serves as an exceptional park-and-ride hub for sports fans and concertgoers traveling south to TD Garden (North Station) or downtown Boston in under 15 minutes via the Orange Line subway or Haverhill Commuter Rail.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Ingress and egress to the garage are straightforward via Evelyn Place, connected right off Exchange Street and Pleasant Street. The facility offers wide two-way circulation lanes, clear interior directional signage, and well-marked ramps connecting all upper parking decks. Regional connectivity is exceptionally strong, with immediate proximity to Route 60 (Centre Street), providing swift links to Route 28 (Fellsway), Route 99, and Interstate 93 for smooth transitions in and out of the Greater Boston metropolitan area.

Visitor & Driver Tips
During weekday morning commuter rush hours (7:00 AM to 9:00 AM), early arrival is recommended to secure spaces on lower deck levels close to the elevator and ground exits. Keep your parking ticket with you when leaving your vehicle to pay easily at the automated walk-up payment stations before returning to your car. Drivers heading to downtown Boston for evening sporting events or concerts can save substantial money by parking here and taking the Orange Line subway rather than paying central Boston garage event rates.
