Parking Around Portsmouth Buddhist Center

From Portsmouth Buddhist Center on Thu, 29 Sep, 2016 - 14:15

Parking in Portsmouth can be tough, especially on Thursday and Friday evenings. The city of Portsmouth has a website to help you figure it all out, including this convenient map of city parking lots.  In addition, the bank lots near PBC on State St. and Pleasant St. allow parking during off hours.  The free city lot and bank lots on Parrott Ave. and Pleasant St. usually have lots of empty spaces around 10AM on Sunday.
