Facility Overview

The Pleasant & Chestnut Parking Garage is a strategically positioned multi-level parking facility located at the intersection of Pleasant Street and Chestnut Street in the heart of Morgantown, WV. This structure provides a secure, urban parking environment suited for a variety of vehicle types. While standard passenger sedans, crossovers, and mid-sized SUVs will find ample space, drivers of oversized pickup trucks or high-roof commercial vans should exercise caution regarding vertical clearance, which is typical for municipal-style downtown garages.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

This facility serves as a primary hub for visitors exploring Downtown Morgantown. Its central location makes it an ideal starting point for:

• West Virginia University (WVU) Campus: Located just a short commute or brisk walk from the downtown administrative buildings.
• The Metropolitan Theatre: A historic landmark perfect for arts and culture enthusiasts.
• High Street Dining & Retail: The city’s main commercial corridor is only steps away, offering a dense collection of restaurants, bars, and boutiques.
• Morgantown Farmers Market: Easily accessible for weekend shoppers visiting the market area.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Access to the garage is facilitated via the primary road network of downtown Morgantown. Traffic flow is generally steady, though it can become congested during peak university events or Friday and Saturday nights. The garage is well-positioned for those utilizing Mountain Line Transit services, with several bus stops nearby providing connectivity to the broader Morgantown area and WVU campus zones. Major arterial roads provide efficient access to the I-79 corridor, making it a convenient choice for commuters coming from outside the city limits.
