About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated right in the heart of historic maritime Annapolis, the parking facility at 110 Compromise Street offers prime access to the city\'s celebrated waterfront and historic district. Operating primarily as an open-air surface parking lot managed in the bustling Ego Alley and City Dock vicinity, this location delivers convenient, level-grade parking directly across from the harbor. Because the facility is an outdoor, open-sky lot, there are no restrictive multi-story vertical height clearances or overhead barriers, making it an exceptional parking choice for full-size pickup trucks, passenger vans, and tall SUVs that frequently struggle with low ceilings in older municipal parking garages.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Positioned on Compromise Street right alongside Spa Creek and the City Dock basin, this lot places visitors within steps of premier Annapolis attractions:

Annapolis City Dock & Ego Alley: Just a 1 to 2-minute walk (less than 300 feet) to view luxury yachts, sailboats, and waterside promenades.
Annapolis Waterfront Hotel & Pusser\'s Caribbean Grille: Immediately adjacent, providing instant access to waterside dining, dock bars, and private event venues.
Historic Main Street: A brief 3-minute stroll brings visitors to boutique shopping, galleries, cafes, and historic taverns along Main Street and Market Space.
United States Naval Academy (USNA): Approximately a 5 to 7-minute walk to Gate 1 (Prince George St / King George St), making it ideal for Commissioning Week, prospective student tours, and Navy athletic events.
Maryland State House & State Circle: Located roughly 8 to 10 minutes away on foot through picturesque colonial brick streets.
Eastport Peninsula: Conveniently located directly at the foot of the Spa Creek Bridge, allowing for an easy 5-minute walk across the bridge into Eastport’s maritime village and seafood restaurants.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress and egress are situated along Compromise Street between Newman Street and the Spa Creek Bridge. Drivers arriving from US-50 or MD-70 (Rowe Boulevard) can travel down Rowe Boulevard, turn onto College Avenue or Church Circle, and proceed through Duke of Gloucester Street straight onto Compromise Street. Exiting during peak summer weekends, boat show weeks, or holiday evenings can see concentrated traffic around the drawbridge and roundabout corridors, so allowing extra travel time is recommended. For local public transit, the Annapolis Circulator shuttle stops nearby at City Dock, connecting drivers effortlessly to Park Place, the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, and peripheral city garages.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During marquee city events such as Commissioning Week in May, Fourth of July fireworks, and the October boat shows, parking directly at City Dock fills up rapidly; arriving early in the morning is highly recommended. Always confirm your license plate number carefully when paying at the on-site kiosk or mobile app to prevent parking citations. If you plan to explore both downtown Annapolis and Eastport, this location serves as the ultimate midway anchor, saving you from navigating traffic across the Spa Creek drawbridge twice.
