Facility Overview

The Parking Garage at 133-217 Walnut Street provides secure, covered multi-level parking positioned directly in the core of Downtown Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Situated along Walnut Street between Main Street and Locust Street, this facility serves as an essential off-street parking destination for professionals, government agency visitors, and patrons attending downtown entertainment. The garage features standard-width parking bays and well-demarcated travel aisles designed to handle compact vehicles, sedans, crossovers, and mid-sized SUVs with ease. Drivers of full-size pickup trucks and high-profile SUVs should remain conscious of posted overhead clearance barriers (typically 6 feet 8 inches in standard regional decks), while oversize cargo vans, commercial vehicles, and trailers should seek open-air municipal surface lots nearby.
