Overview & Suitability
The Oglethorpe Mall parking facility, which serves major anchor stores including Macy's, is a expansive, super-regional parking area designed primarily for passenger vehicles. As the primary parking solution for the mall, it accommodates shoppers and visitors across a large surface lot and dedicated parking deck, offering over 5,300 total spaces. Please note that this facility is strictly for mall patrons and is not intended for long-term RV or commercial truck storage.
Access, Dimensions & Clearance
Access to the Oglethorpe Mall parking lots is provided via multiple entrances surrounding the property at 7804 Abercorn Extension. Navigation is generally straightforward, though visitors should exercise caution during peak shopping hours when traffic can become heavy. While the site includes a parking deck, motorists should be aware of standard parking garage clearance height restrictions if utilizing covered levels. Large vehicles should aim for the exterior surface lots to ensure ease of navigation.
Parking Rates, Tariffs & Booking
Parking at Oglethorpe Mall is entirely free of charge for all guests. There are no booking requirements, pre-payment portals, or hourly tariffs. Visitors may simply arrive and utilize any available unmarked space within the designated mall perimeter.
Security & Amenities
The facility benefits from a robust security presence, including:
- On-Site Security: Regular patrols and a dedicated police sub-station located near the Belk parking deck.
- Safety Programs: Implementation of a K-9/gun sniffing dog program to ensure a secure environment.
- Assistance: Security personnel offer jump-start services and can assist in locating vehicles if a guest loses track of their parking spot.
- Convenience: Select areas provide mobile phone charging stations, and the mall management maintains a lost vehicle protocol.
Strategic Alternative
Located approximately 10 miles from Historic Downtown Savannah, this facility serves as an excellent, high-capacity, and free staging point for those visiting the midtown area.
