Paper Mill Playhouse Parking Map

EXPANDED PARKING

On February 10, 2023, Paper Mill acquired 20 Brookside Drive, the property directly adjacent to the theater. The nearly one-acre property has been privately owned and operated as a parking lot serving Paper Mill patrons for decades. With the acquisition of this property, Paper Mill will have greater control over the parking service it provides in all of its lots. The new lot is called Lot E, and is currently managed by Park Plus Services, as are the rest of our lots.
