Overview & Suitability
Oglethorpe Mall - Parking Deck offers convenient and accessible parking for shoppers, diners, and transit users in Midtown Savannah, GA. Situated near the JCPenney entrance, this multi-level parking structure is ideally suited for standard passenger cars, sedans, SUVs, and standard light trucks. The facility is not suitable for larger motorhomes, RVs, or oversized commercial vehicles, which can easily find parking in the mall's massive outdoor surface parking lots surrounding the deck.
Access, Dimensions & Clearance
The parking deck can be accessed via Mall Way, which connects seamlessly to Abercorn Street, White Bluff Road, and Mall Boulevard. Inside, standard ramps allow for simple navigation across multiple levels. While exact height limit signs are posted at the entry barriers, the deck is designed for standard-size consumer vehicles. Drivers of high-profile vehicles, commercial vans, or those carrying roof racks should exercise caution and utilize the nearby surface lots instead.

Parking at the Oglethorpe Mall Parking Deck is completely free of charge for mall patrons and transit users. There are no hourly, daily, or monthly rates, and booking is not required. It operates on a first-come, first-served basis, meaning no ticket dispensers, pay stations, or parking apps are needed.
Security & Amenities
The facility features 24/7 on-site security patrols and utilizes License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology to manage parking availability and ensure spaces remain open for genuine visitors. Mall security is also available to assist with vehicle-related issues such as jump starts or locating a lost vehicle. For added convenience, the Chatham Area Transit (CAT) bus depot is located directly under the parking deck near the JCPenney entrance, providing immediate public transit connections.
