Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a hassle-free parking experience, keep your license plate number handy when arriving, as payment is managed via license plate recognition and mobile checkout. Pre-paying via your smartphone upon parking prevents expired meter citations. While downtown Haddonfield experiences high vehicle volume during weekend brunch and evening dinner rushes, spaces in this lot turn over frequently. When visiting during annual downtown street festivals, arriving earlier in the morning is recommended to secure a prime stall.
