Facility Overview
The 1 Polito Avenue Parking facility is located in the bustling Meadowlands commercial corridor of Lyndhurst, New Jersey. Serving the prominent commercial office complex at 1 Polito Avenue as well as nearby hospitality and entertainment venues, this parking facility features a spacious combination of open-air surface parking bays and a dedicated multi-level parking garage structure.

Visitor & Driver Tips
When visiting during peak morning rush hours (8:00 AM to 9:30 AM) or evening departure windows (4:30 PM to 6:00 PM), anticipate elevated traffic along Route 3 and the Polito Avenue off-ramps. Drivers maneuvering oversized work vans, roof-box-equipped SUVs, or lifted trucks should plan to park in the open-air surface lot perimeter to avoid garage overhead restrictions. If utilizing rideshare services to attend events at MetLife Stadium or American Dream, arrange pick-ups along the open exterior passenger staging zones to ensure smooth, stress-free departures before the post-event rush hits the highway corridors.
