Leesburg Opens New Downtown Public Parking Lot
Church Street parking lot adds 44 pay-to-park spaces to the downtown.
Leesburg, VA (October 6, 2016) – On
Monday, the Town of Leesburg’s new
Church Street parking lot, located at the
corner of Church and Loudoun streets,
opened to the public, helping to ease the
shortage of parking options for patrons and
employees of downtown businesses.
The Church Street parking lot has 44 public
spaces, including two handicapped
accessible spaces. Parking rates are the
same as the on-street metered spaces,
$1.50 per hour, but there is no time limit.
Rates apply Monday through Friday from
8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Parking is free on weekends, holidays and after 5:00 p.m. on weekdays.
Patrons can pay using the lot’s pay station using cash or credit cards, or they can pay with the
ParkMobile app on their smartphones. The ParkMobile app charges a service fee; there is no
service fee when using the pay station.
The Town has leased the Church Street parking lot from Courthouse Square LLC. Previously, the
owners leased the lot to Loudoun County for employee parking. Some parking spaces are still
reserved for county motor pool vehicles, but the majority of the spaces are now available to the
public.
In conjunction with opening the new parking lot, the Town added a pedestrian crosswalk at the
intersection of Church and Loudoun streets.
