NEW Downtown Parking Garage is OPEN!

NEW DOWNTOWN PARKING GARAGE OPEN

As of Friday, March 27, 2026, the new 660-space parking garage is now open!

Privately owned and maintained, parking is always available to the public 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. There are opportunities for monthly parking for employees and others at this New Parking Garage

How do you get to the garage?

The main entrance and exit for the new Garage is on Park Way, one block above Merrimack Street. This entrance provides access to floors 2-6 and over 560 parking spaces on those floors, with elevator access down to Merrimack Street. NOTE: This is the exact same entrance point (opposite the front door of the medical center) as the former Goecke Deck used to have for the upper level on Park Way.

To access the Garage from Bradford and coming over the Basiliere Bridge, travel Main Street/Route 125 Northbound to a left on Bailey Boulevard, (U-turns on Main Street are not allowed). Then take your first left onto Haverhill Place behind the Medical Center to Park Way into the entrance to the upper levels of the Garage.

To access the Garage from the north, simply take a right off Main Street at the Medical Center and follow the one-way section of Park Way into the Garage.

There are approximately 90 additional parking spots on the Ground Level of the Garage that will be accessed off Merrimack Street. However, this level is not yet open while construction continues on the new Pentucket Bank branch.

As planned, use of the temporary 130-space surface parking lot off Merrimack Street will cease on April 8, 2026. This surface lot will be closed as of Wednesday, April 8, 2026. The last day you can park in this lot will be Tuesday, April 7, 2026.
