About this Location

Facility Overview

Parkway Parking at 124 Market Place (widely known as the Market Place Garage) is a modern, multi-level covered parking structure situated in the heart of downtown Baltimore\'s vibrant Inner Harbor East and Power Plant district. Engineered for seamless urban parking, this facility offers hundreds of sheltered parking bays distributed across multiple accessible tiers. The structure easily accommodates standard passenger vehicles, compact sedans, crossovers, and full-size SUVs. Drivers of large pickup trucks or vehicles equipped with roof racks and cargo carriers should remain mindful of standard parking garage height limits, which maintain a vertical clearance threshold of approximately 6 feet 8 inches (2.03 meters). Extended high-roof passenger vans and commercial freight vehicles will require open-air surface parking alternatives.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Positioned just blocks from the waterfront, 124 Market Place is one of the most strategically placed parking garages for visitors exploring Baltimore’s entertainment, cultural, and waterfront highlights:

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Entering and exiting the garage is straightforward via Market Place, which connects smoothly between East Pratt Street to the south and East Lombard Street and East Baltimore Street to the north. These arterial one-way corridors streamline inbound navigation from I-83 (Jones Falls Expressway) and I-395/I-95. Following major evening concerts or weekend events at Power Plant Live!, departing traffic can experience brief delays along Lombard Street, but multiple automated exit lanes help keep vehicles moving. For commuters and visitors utilizing public transportation, the garage sits less than two blocks south of the Shot Tower / Market Place Metro SubwayLink station, while several Baltimore CityLink bus lines stop directly adjacent on Pratt and Baltimore Streets.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During summer weekends, major aquarium exhibition openings, and sellout evening concerts at Power Plant Live! or Pier Six Pavilion, this facility frequently experiences high demand. Visitors are strongly advised to reserve a guaranteed parking space ahead of time using online reservation platforms like Parkway Parking or SpotHero to secure flat-rate savings and avoid sold-out turnarounds. When programming your navigation system, ensure routing directs you to 124 Market Place to enter smoothly off Market Place rather than the congested pedestrian zones along Pratt Street. Retain your digital booking confirmation or ticket barcode handy for quick scanning at entry and exit gates.
