Municipal Parking Department (City of Detroit)

Detroit's city parking department: meters, the Park Detroit app, city garages and group parking for events.

01 / The story of this place

Make time for these

The Municipal Parking Department enforces Detroit's parking rules and runs the city's on-street and garage parking. It manages more than 2,200 metered spaces, and you can pay through the Park Detroit app. Event planners should know about Group Parking Arrangements, which let you reserve spaces in a city garage ahead of time. One of the most central garages is the Ford Underground Garage beneath Jefferson Avenue near the riverfront.
