About this Location

Facility Overview

The Putnam Street Parking Deck is a primary multi-level covered parking structure located at 21 Putnam Street in the heart of Saratoga Springs, New York. This facility provides essential off-street parking for residents and visitors exploring the vibrant downtown area. Designed as a concrete parking deck, it offers protection from the elements, making it an ideal choice for both short-term errands and all-day excursions. The layout is optimized for standard passenger vehicles, SUVs, and mid-sized trucks. Please note that while standard vehicles fit comfortably, high-roof vans or vehicles with oversized roof racks should exercise caution due to typical parking deck vertical clearance limitations.
