After over 2,900 Yelp reviews, this is the first time I've reviewed a parking deck. I check into them all the time on Swarm, but this is the first time I've noticed one on Yelp. And this is a pretty good parking deck, so I might as well review it.
The Wall Street Garage is one of many centrally located and affordable parking decks in downtown Asheville. At 232 spaces, it's the smallest deck in downtown Asheville yet I believe it's also the most popular. Other downtown decks include the Civic Center Garage (550 spaces), the Rankin Avenue Garage (262 spaces), and the Biltmore Avenue Garage (289-404 spaces depending on the attached Aloft hotel occupancy). I have been able to park here. However, on my last visit, the deck was full so I parked at the Biltmore Avenue Garage instead.
I think the Wall Street Garage is the busiest of the downtown garages because it's right across from the Grove Arcade and very close to many popular, local, well known, and highly rated bars, restaurants, and stores. The entrance to the garage is on Otis Street and there's a sign that will tell you how many spaces are available or if the garage is full.
The first hour is free with each additional hour only $1.25 with a daily maximum of $10. Compared to parking garages in big cities, these rates are a bargain. Both cards and cash are accepted.
One thing that makes this parking deck unique and unlike any other I've seen is it has a four-story rock climbing wall on the outside. The rock climbing wall is located on the Wall Street side of the structure and is owned, operated, and maintained by Climbmax Climbing next door. read more
