About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the historic hilltop enclave of St. George on Staten Island, the Metropolis parking facility at 325 St Marks Pl offers seamless, modern parking infrastructure for commuters, visitors, and residents alike. Powered by Metropolis’s state-of-the-art computer vision and drive-in, drive-out access technology, this facility removes the traditional friction of tickets and barrier delays. The site features an open, accessible parking format designed to comfortably accommodate standard passenger vehicles, compact sedans, midsize crossovers, and full-size SUVs. Thanks to its unobstructed layout and generous clearances, drivers of standard trucks and taller personal vehicles can navigate and park with ease, without the height constraints common to older subterranean garages.

Visitor & Driver Tips

To experience the fastest entry and exit, register your vehicle and license plate in advance with Metropolis online before arriving. When heading down to the Staten Island Ferry or waterfront, keep in mind the return walk is uphill; allow a few extra minutes when returning to your vehicle. During marquee concert nights at the St. George Theatre or weekend fireworks games at the ballpark, arrive 30 to 45 minutes ahead of curtain or first pitch to ensure a prime spot and avoid localized traffic along Hyatt Street and Richmond Terrace.
