Parking

Media vehicles may park free on the top level of the City Hall parking deck on Lawrence Street. Broadcast vehicles not able to access the parking deck because of their size may park free temporarily in a loading zone on Lawrence Street in front of City Hall if those spaces are not needed for city vehicles. Broadcast crews may videotape or broadcast live from City Hall provided vehicles and equipment do not interfere with traffic or city activities. View the Downtown Marietta Parking Map (PDF). For directions, visit the Where is Marietta page.
