Parking in Historic Folsom
The City of Folsom completed construction of the Railroad Block Parking Structure on March 20th. This
new facility will add over 300 new parking spaces for Historic Folsom visitors and employees. However,
there are many changes still in the works for Historic Folsom, and we are still faced with parking challenges.
It is therefore important that visitors and employees work together to make the best use of the parking in
Historic Folsom.
To that end, the City has developed a parking map and parking guide to assist motorists to find the best
available parking for their needs.
To view a parking map where timed/untimed parking locations are identified click here. For an information
sheet for visitors/customer and employees/merchant with a few tips and pointers for parking in the Historic
District and City of Folsom contact information click here.
