City announces changes to downtown parking

The City of Fredericksburg is pleased to announce the completion of public-parking areas adjacent to the newly finished Riverfront Park along Sophia Street downtown. With the completion of the Riverfront Park project, the Sophia Street Parking Garage will be returning to three hours of free parking (down from 4 hours) beginning on May 1. After the initial three hours, parking in the garage costs $1 each additional hour with a daily maximum charge of $8 on weekdays and $2 on weekends.

Located at the corner of Sophia and Wolfe streets, the Sophia Street Parking Garage provides 297 public-parking spaces in the heart of Downtown, with fully automated garage access and payment system available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. An electric charging station with two ports is available on the top floor of the deck.
