Facility Overview

The North Parking Garage is a dedicated multi-level parking structure conveniently positioned at 20 Valley Pike in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Serving primarily the Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center campus, medical offices, and the surrounding Moxham and Eighth Ward neighborhoods, this garage offers structured, sheltered vehicle parking away from the elements. The facility features standard multi-tier design with clear interior driving lanes, directional signage, and delineated parking stalls. It comfortably accommodates standard passenger cars, crossovers, minivans, and mid-size SUVs. Due to overhead clearance restrictions typical of multi-deck parking structures (standard height clearance of approximately 7 feet), drivers operating high-roof commercial vans, lifted pickup trucks, or vehicles equipped with roof racks and cargo carriers should verify posted height bars at the entrance before proceeding inside.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When planning your trip to the North Parking Garage, arrive 15 minutes ahead of scheduled medical appointments to account for navigation, finding an open stall, and walking through hospital check-in points. If your appointment includes parking validation, remember to bring your parking ticket inside to your clinic or nursing station before returning to your vehicle. Always check the posted clearance limit at the entry gate if you are driving an oversized SUV or a vehicle equipped with rooftop carriers.
