About this Location

Facility Overview

Westin Guest Parking, located at 24 Waterway Avenue in The Woodlands Town Center district, provides secure and modern parking infrastructure at the heart of The Woodlands Waterway. Integrated with the 24 Waterway commercial development and directly serving The Westin at The Woodlands, the facility operates as a multi-tier, fully covered structured parking garage designed to deliver weather-protected vehicle storage. The garage features automated gate controls, clearly striped wide parking bays, bi-directional travel ramps, and direct pedestrian elevator banks linking drivers seamlessly to street-level sidewalks and nearby venues. The structure comfortably accommodates standard passenger cars, mid-size crossovers, minivans, and full-size SUVs. While standard, unmodified pickup trucks (such as the Ford F-150 or Chevrolet Silverado) can enter easily, drivers of lifted off-road trucks, high-roof commercial cargo vans, rooftop luggage racks, and camper conversions must adhere to standard garage clearance restrictions (typically 7'0" / 84 inches) and seek alternative surface parking in the surrounding district.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Accessing the garage is straightforward from major regional thoroughfares. Drivers traveling via Interstate 45 (North Freeway) can take Exit 76B onto Woodlands Parkway, turn north onto Six Pines Drive or Woodloch Forest Drive, and follow Lake Robbins Drive directly toward Waterway Avenue. Garage ingress and egress portals are positioned off Fountains Plaza between Lake Robbins Drive and Waterway Square Place, offering smooth traffic flow into the gated ramp system. After major sold-out concerts at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion or holiday festivities at Waterway Square, exiting drivers are directed efficiently back toward Woodlands Parkway or Lake Robbins Drive to disperse away from core pedestrian zones.

For transit users, this facility connects directly to the Woodlands Waterway Trolley, a complimentary hop-on, hop-off transit network with stops right outside at Waterway Square. The trolley runs continuously throughout the day, connecting passengers to The Woodlands Mall, Market Street, and Hughes Landing without requiring drivers to move their vehicles.
