Downtown Annapolis Parking Garages

We suggest parking in the Noah Hillman Garage, the closest public garage. It is located at 150 Gorman Street, a short walk to Gate 1 of the Naval Academy. The entrance is on the left of Duke of Gloucester Street, just past Conduit Street.

Once parked in the garage, look for the stairs in the northeast corner of the garage. At the bottom of the stairs, walk straight down Gorman St. to Main Street From there, the Annapolis City Dock is just a block down the hill on Main Street. The Armel-Leftwich Visitor Center may be accessed by turning right immediately after exiting the Visitor Access Center. Follow the signs.

General visitors with government-issued disability parking placard license plates or placards may be granted vehicle access at Gate 1 and Gate 8 during general visiting hours. The photo identification will be compared to the parking certification card that was issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles along with the issued disability parking placard.

Only vehicles with USNA IDs, DoD credentials or handicapped tags may enter Naval Academy grounds.

Downtown Annapolis Metered Parking

There is closer parking on Dock Street just on the other side of the City Dock, but it is metered with a two-hour maximum limit.
