Use the city’s parking maps as the source of truth for current facilities.
Named downtown options
- Hardy Parking Garage: a downtown garage shown on official maps.
- Old Town Parking Deck: a garage south of the core shown on official maps.
- Surface lots and metered streets: use the city map to identify the specific facility and read signs at the space.
Rates, payment methods, time limits, and enforcement can change, so this guide does not reproduce them. Check the city’s current rates page.
Accessible parking
Review the city’s accessible-parking guidance. A disability placard does not make every space or route suitable; check signs, curb cuts, construction, and the destination entrance.
Event days
Events may change normal access, traffic, and facility availability. Check the organizer and Downtown Traverse City parking page shortly before arrival. Save a second official facility and allow time to walk. Historical event articles should not replace current organizer instructions.
