Facility Overview
The West New York Parking Utility (WNYPU) office and associated parking facility, located at 224 60th St, serves as a central hub for municipal parking management in West New York, NJ. This site is home to the Fillmore Garage, a compact municipal facility offering convenient off-street parking in a dense urban environment. As this is a municipal structure within a high-density neighborhood, the facility is optimized for standard passenger vehicles and smaller SUVs. Drivers should be mindful that like many urban garages in Hudson County, vertical clearance may be standard for residential structures; large commercial vans or lifted trucks should exercise caution or inquire with the WNYPU directly regarding specific height restrictions.

The facility is also strategically positioned for those looking to enjoy the iconic views of the Manhattan skyline from the nearby Boulevard East, a popular destination for tourists and photographers alike. Its central location makes it an ideal 'home base' for exploring the local culture of West New York before heading to nearby attractions or transit connections into New York City.
