Facility Overview
The Walnut Street Garage, operated by SP+, is a premier indoor parking facility located at 215 Walnut St, in the heart of downtown Harrisburg, PA. This multi-level, secured parking structure offers a safe and convenient environment for visitors, commuters, and tourists alike. The facility is designed for standard passenger vehicles; however, drivers should be aware of the maximum vehicle height clearance of 6'6". Due to these clearance restrictions, the garage is not suitable for oversized vehicles, high-roof conversion vans, or lifted pickup trucks. The layout is straightforward and well-maintained, providing easy access to the central business district.
