Facility Overview
The Prince George Street Parking Garage, located at 230 N Henry St, Williamsburg, VA, serves as a central hub for visitors navigating the historic and vibrant heart of Williamsburg. This multi-level parking structure is designed to accommodate a wide variety of passenger vehicles, providing both covered and semi-exposed parking levels. While the facility is well-suited for standard sedans, compact cars, and mid-size SUVs, drivers of oversized trucks or high-roof vans should exercise caution regarding vertical clearance, which is standard for modern municipal garages. The layout is structured to promote efficient one-way traffic flow, minimizing congestion during peak hours.
