Parking Lot Temporarily Closed: The Town of Derry is working on an estimated 18 month project to improve parking in Downtown Derry by adding a Parking Garage at Abbott Court. This construction is anticipated to take about 18 months to complete. While this project is being completed parking is very limited in that lot. We do not recommend planning to park there at this time while visiting the Derry Opera House.  The Town of Derry has published a temporary map for lots that are able to be used. As it has always been parking in any public lot in Derry remains free of charge. Please see the list below for available parking lots and a map of where to find them. Parking on Broadway and Maple street will not have the two hour limit enforced while the project is happening.

Project Questions or Project Concerns: If you have any questions regarding the project itself at Abbott Court please reach out to Bev Donovan at beverlydonovan@derrynh.gov.
