Parking Garage
Parking Garage
The Sophia Street Parking Garage located at the corner of Sophia and Wolfe Street, provides 297 parking spaces in historic downtown Fredericksburg. It is within easy walking distance of key downtown points such as the train station, visitor's center, and courts. Many shops and fine restaurants are just a block away.
Maintenance Work
*** If you can believe it, the City's Parking Garage has been open since 2005! The Parking Garage is undergoing an extensive amount of maintenance in an effort to continue to provide a safe parking structure and ensure its long term viability. You may have seen crews, safety cones and yellow tape in the garage lately. Our contractor is replacing the caulking membrane, as well as repairing certain sections of concrete. They are also painting the shutters, window guards, lintels, and the exterior handrails. All work is expected to be completed by the end of January 2020. The garage will remain open and is available for parking during this maintenance work. Thanks for your patience! ***
