Questions
Where do I park at the Cumming City Center?
Parking is free in the City Center's five-level parking deck, which has handicap parking and an elevator, and in its surface lots. Overnight parking is allowed only in the deck and the overflow lots off Bulldog Way. Vehicles left more than 24 hours, or parked outside marked spaces, are towed by Cumming Police. During school hours, Forsyth Central students must use their own lot.
Where do I park near the historic courthouse square?
Forsyth County built two downtown decks with the 2015 courthouse. The five-level, 491-space Mason Street Parking Facility behind the County Administration Building opened free to the public in December 2014. The three-level, 222-space Castleberry Parking Facility at Castleberry Road and Maple Street opened that June. These details come from 2014 news reports, so check posted signs for current rules.
