Parking

The Municipal Parking Office encourages business entities within Blue Back Square to take advantage of our various business parking fee options.  Establish a parking account for the Memorial Garage, located at 75 Memorial Road, or Isham Garage, located at 17 Isham Road, across from Whole Foods Market.

The monthly fee is $110.00, plus 6.35% Connecticut state sales tax, for each access card. The access cards offer 24/7  parking access to a designated facility at nearly a 50% discount.  (Our normal daily rate for the garage is $0.75 for every half hour with a $7.00 maximum per visit per day.)  The access card does not guarantee a parking space.

Call the Municipal Parking Office at (860) 561-8220 for details. We look forward to assisting you with your parking needs.

The Validated Parking program is available to corporations and merchants located in West Hartford Center and Blue Back Square. The program is designed for the convenience of their customers.  Monthly invoices would be sent to participating entities for the actual number of validated parking instances at the standard established rates.

The Pre-paid Voucher is valued at $3.00, offering up to 2 hours of parking, at any one of the West Hartford Municipal Parking facilities.   Purchased in advance, they can be used at any time for convenience or as gifts.  Vouchers can be presented one at a time or in multiples, to pay for parking.  They are non-refundable and cannot be redeemed for cash.

Vouchers may be purchased at the West Hartford Municipal Parking Office, 17 Isham Road. 

West Hartford Municipal Parking is pleased to offer our Workforce Parking Program, designed to provide affordable parking solutions for the Center's service employees.  Employers can setup a workforce parking account with the Town for their employees. Qualified candidates would be employees of West Hartford Center or  Blue Back Square, in the service sector, with a wage rate limitation at $15 or less per hour.  

The program offers tremendous flexibility, supporting most schedules: Full-time, Part-time, and Day or Evening shifts.  Employers can establish a Workforce Parking account with the Town.  Employers would be responsible for information regarding employee turnover and wage qualification, and funding the account.  Click the title above for more detailed information about the Workforce Program.   Click here for the Workforce Agreement Form.

Town Hall lot is a parking lot servicing several groups of parkers: Town and Board of Education employees, Police and Fire Departments, and Hotel parking. For event planning purposes, a portion of the lot is available to organizations with the interests in holding an event in the parking lot. 

The Town offers 2 sections available for special events:  Section A with 54 parking spaces outlined in Yellow and Section B with 182 spaces outlined in Blue.  A party may rent either section or both to accommodate an event.  All other areas in Town Hall lot are NOT available for event planning.  The East-West drive connecting South Main St. and Raymond Rd. gates must be kept opened for access at all times.  This area is illustrated by  the RED arrow. Each section is offered in 5-hour block increments.  Rental fees include 2 booth attendants for traffic purposes, as the lot would be in normal operation with all gates in service at all time during the event.  Parkers without credentials are welcome to park.  Fees are posted at each entrance.

During the event, organizers and volunteers would be assisted with access in and out of the parking lot when displaying proper credentials to the attendant.  1 week prior to the event, planners will be expected to provide: 

• A list of organizers and volunteers who will be on site on the day of the event.
• 2 samples of the credential to be used as references for the attendants on duty.

Those attending the event are welcome to park at any of the Town’s municipal parking facilities available to the public.  Fees are posted at each entry lane.  Organizers must comply with the Town’s indemnification requirements to occupy Town’s property.
