About this Location

Facility Overview

Premium Parking - P6208 is an open-air surface parking facility strategically positioned in the heart of Downtown Burlington, Vermont, at 82 S Winooski Avenue. Designed for straightforward access and quick turnarounds, this grade-level parking lot provides an unobstructed parking experience with clear visual lines and standard marked bays. Because it is an open-air surface lot without low-hanging ceilings, beams, or height bars, it accommodates standard passenger sedans, full-size SUVs, oversized pickup trucks, work vans, and vehicles outfitted with roof boxes or ski and bike racks that would otherwise exceed parking garage height restrictions.
