Facility Overview
The Worcester Common Garage is a premier underground public parking facility located in the heart of downtown Worcester. It provides a secure, climate-protected parking environment ideal for commuters, local residents, and visitors exploring the city center.
Access and Clearance
The garage offers dual entry points for user convenience: one accessible via 3 Eaton Place (near the Unum Building) and another on Trumbull Street beneath the AC Marriott Hotel. The facility features a maximum vehicle clearance height of 8\'2\", accommodating most standard passenger vehicles, SUVs, and light trucks.
Parking Operations and Payments
As a municipally managed facility, the garage utilizes a gated entry system. Users are required to take a ticket upon arrival and pay at central kiosks located in the lobby prior to exiting. Accepted payment methods include major credit cards (MasterCard, Visa, American Express, Discover) and cash.
Strategic Location
The garage is highly favored for its proximity to major city landmarks, including:

During declared winter parking bans, the City of Worcester often provides free overnight parking options for residents within designated municipal facilities.
