Parking Downtown


With nearly 900 public parking spots available, there is always a space for you downtown! 
On-Street parking is FREE with a 2-hour time limit.
Parking in Lots is FREE with a 3-hour time limit or stay in a lot all day for only $2/day!



FREE On-Street Parking

There is ample FREE on-street parking available on Main Street as well as several side streets. 
Parking on Main Street is designed to be used by customers needing convenient access for a quick stop at a business.

For this reason, there is a 2 hour time limit on Main Street. Vehicles that exceed this time limit will receive a ticket.

If your plans involve spending some time downtown, please plan to park in an off-street lot.

Note: Tickets are no longer automatically waived for customers. Appeals will be processed through the Manchester Police Department.

FREE Parking in Lots

There are 7 off-street parking lots in the Downtown District, each identified by a color-coded sign system (see map below)

There are 3 ALL DAY FREE lots available!

The other 4 lots allow 3 hours of FREE parking. Vehicles that exceed the posted 3 hour time limit will receive a ticket.

Note: TIckets are no longer automatically waived for customers. Appeals will be processed through the Manchester Police Department.

Pay to Stay All Day

Are you planning to stay longer than 3 hours? Great! We love to have guests linger!

You may choose to park in one of the 3 ALL DAY FREE lots that are available. Stay all day, at no cost to you!

If you prefer a more convenient parking spot, you may park in any other color-coded lot for only $2 per day!
