About this Location

Facility Overview

Premium Parking - P5703, historically known to locals as the Dewees Lot, is an essential municipal surface parking facility situated at 117 Allen Avenue in the heart of historic Haddonfield, New Jersey. This paved, open-air car park features marked single-level bays arranged along clear circulation aisles, offering drivers intuitive navigation from entrance to exit. Because the facility is entirely open to the sky without low-hanging ceiling decks, overhead piping, or overhead barriers, it imposes no vertical clearance limitations. This makes P5703 exceptionally accommodating for standard passenger sedans, crossovers, full-size SUVs, pickup trucks, and high-clearance conversion or trade vans.

Paid meter enforcement runs from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Monday through Saturday. Parking is completely free on Sundays and after 8:00 PM on weeknights, making this lot especially appealing for Sunday brunch and weekend evening dinners. Before leaving your vehicle, ensure you submit your accurate vehicle license plate number at the kiosk or via the Premium Parking mobile application, as enforcement operates on automated license-plate recognition (LPR).
