Facility Overview
The Ann-Bank Parking Garage, centrally situated at 30 Schuyler Place in downtown Morristown, New Jersey, is a modern multi-level covered parking structure operated under the auspices of the Morristown Parking Authority (MPA). Strategically set in the heart of Morris County’s judicial, administrative, and commercial center, the facility features well-marked stalls, wide circulation aisles, and a clear vehicular flow designed to minimize congestion during high-volume periods. The covered garage accommodates compact cars, standard sedans, crossovers, and standard SUVs comfortably. Drivers operating oversized passenger vehicles, lifted pickup trucks, or cargo vans should observe posted overhead height clearance signs (standard clearance is approximately 6 feet 8 inches to 7 feet), while standard passenger vehicles will find smooth clearance and intuitive wayfinding across all parking decks.
