Everyone knows what a challenge finding a parking spot can be. Either you don’t have correct change or the spot you find is too far away from where you’re going. Luckily, Plymouth has all sorts of options to fill your parking desires. Want a short-term space in exchange for a few quarters? An all-day spot while you’re out spotting whales? Feeling lucky? You might even snag one of the sought-after free spaces known only to locals (until now, that is).
Parking for the public is available in the locations listed below and is enforced as posted on signs and meters and in lots. You can also check out this map to see where they're located.
