Roads and interstate exits
I-575 runs north from I-75 near Marietta through Woodstock to Canton. Its Woodstock exits:
| Exit | Road | Leads to |

The Ridgewalk Parkway interchange is being rebuilt as a diverging diamond, and Towne Lake Parkway is being widened near downtown; see road construction and closures for what is under way this week.
Downtown parking
Downtown Woodstock has more than 70 shops, restaurants and attractions and almost 2,000 public parking spaces on streets, in surface lots and in the City Center East parking deck, which opened in December 2024 with more than 600 free spaces, the city says.
| Free parking | About 85% of downtown spaces, including the deck |
| Paid zones | Four zones, fewer than 300 spaces, since July 7, 2025 |
| Paid hours | 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week |
| Paid rates | First hour free with registration; $2 for each of the second and third hours, plus processing fees |
| How to pay | QR code or text-to-pay |
Because paid parking stops at 8 p.m., the city notes that someone who parks in a paid zone at 5 p.m. can stay until 10 a.m. the next morning. For long stays, use the deck or a free lot. Find every space on the city’s interactive parking map.
