Detroit Shipping Co (474 Peterboro) : Parking Options
Shipping Co. Option 1: There is a gravel parking lot next to (east of) the bar that you can park a car in (typically $10/spot, but before 3pm could be free if they do not have an attendant). There is a 2nd gravel lot operated by a private company (not detroit shipping company) that you may also use.
Shipping Co. Option 2: Our recommendation is to park at one of the many gated & secured lots that can be found within a block of Detroit Shipping Company. These are super easy to spot once you get near the starting location.
Shipping Co. Option 3: Street parking is free on many of the streets that line the area. These spaces are obviously not secured.
For areas with metered parking Sundays are free. For non-Sundays it’s $1/hour. You can pay up to 4hours in advance. Worried you’ll be at the bar for longer than that and need to re-up ? You can manage your parking from an app here
