Street Parking
Many of the side streets that border Central Park allow for free and legal parking. Just make sure to read the posted street signs carefully before parking your car. Be prepared to allow for extra time in case you have to wait for a space to become available.
Metered Parking
Metered parking can be found on the avenues that run north and south on either side of Central Park. Metered parking duration times vary from 1 hour to 12 hours.
Hourly rates for metered parking vary. From 96th to 110th Street, the metered rate is $3.00 per hour. Below 96th Street, the rate is $5.00 per hour.
