Parking by Circuit Court
Once you arrive in Annapolis, parking can be found at various locations around the courthouse. The two closest parking facilities are the Whitmore Garage and the Gott's Court Garage - both of which can be accessed off Calvert Street.
To get to the Whitmore Garage, take Calvert Street to right turn onto Clay Street, the entrance will be on the left. The Gott's Court Garage is located near the Annapolis Visitors Center - the entrance is on the left off of Calvert Street. There is also the Hillman Garage on Duke of Gloucester Street, but because of offices and retail stores in that area, this garage fills up faster.
