About this Location

Facility Overview

The site located at 278 Main Street, Niantic, CT, is the former location of the Old Town Police Station. It is currently designated as a brownfield redevelopment site by the Town of East Lyme. Please note that this is not a designated or public parking facility. The area is currently undergoing assessments for future potential use, which may include a public plaza or redevelopment. Motorists are advised that there is no official parking available for public use at this specific address.

Access and Site Status

The site is restricted and not equipped for vehicle storage or public parking. Access is limited due to the ongoing environmental and site assessments regarding the former police station building. Navigation to this location is not recommended for parking purposes.

Parking Availability and Strategic Alternatives

As this site is not a functional parking lot, visitors to the nearby Niantic Bay Boardwalk and local amenities should look for authorized public parking areas within the town of Niantic. Public parking in the surrounding district typically operates on a pay-to-park basis, with daily rates often varying by season. Travelers seeking parking for transit or local attractions are encouraged to use designated town-managed municipal lots rather than attempting to park at private or government-owned redevelopment sites.
