Starting Monday, Nov. 11, Perimeter Mall in Atlanta will begin charging for parking in about 300 spaces close to its front entrance, out of the mall’s total 7,000 parking spots.

How Much Does It Cost To Park at Perimeter Mall?

The cost will be $2 per hour, with a daily cap of $10. Brookfield Properties, the mall’s management, stated that $1 from each parking fee will be donated to Fur Kids, a local animal rescue organization, as part of their effort to give back to the community.

Does Perimeter Mall Still Have Free Parking?

Yes, Perimeter Mall in Dunwoody still offers free parking, but they recently introduced paid parking in a limited area.

This new paid option only applies to a small portion of the mall’s total 7,000 parking spaces, meaning the majority of parking remains free​.

Other Atlanta Malls With Paid Parking

It’s not the only Atlanta-area mall that charges customers to park.

At Phipps Plaza, this upscale mall in the Buckhead area has paid parking for certain sections. It caters to luxury shoppers and has multiple options for parking, with charges that vary depending on the location within the mall area.

As of now, Lenox Square Mall in Atlanta offers free parking for general shoppers. However, some nearby parking areas or valet services may charge fees, especially if they are associated with adjacent hotels or luxury accommodations rather than the mall itself​.

While standard parking remains complimentary, visitors should check specific locations or valet services if they have different policies.

Final Word
