About this Location

Facility Overview

The Maryville Parking Garage, situated at 405 E Harper Ave in historic downtown Maryville, Tennessee, serves as the central parking hub for the city core and Blount County civic center. Designed as a sturdy, multi-level covered concrete deck with an open-air rooftop tier, this modern parking facility provides well-organized and weather-protected parking for county visitors, municipal workers, local shoppers, and recreational users. Standard passenger vehicles, crossover SUVs, and light pickup trucks can comfortably navigate its wide drive aisles and clearly designated stalls. The covered decks feature standard garage vertical clearance (typically posted at approximately 7 feet), while the open upper deck easily accommodates larger family SUVs, pickup trucks, and vehicles equipped with roof racks.
