About this Location

Facility Overview

The Scovill Street Garage is a multi-level municipal parking deck centrally positioned at 33 Scovill Street in downtown Waterbury, Connecticut. Functioning as a primary parking hub for the city core, this covered multi-tier facility offers dependable off-street parking designed to accommodate standard passenger cars, minivans, crossover models, and full-size SUVs. While the structure features standard multi-level clearances suitable for typical commuter and family vehicles, drivers of high-roof conversion vans, oversized commercial utility vehicles, or vehicles carrying roof cargo boxes should observe posted height restrictions (typically standard 6-foot-8 to 7-foot garage clearances) at the entrance ramp before entry.
