Facility Overview
Situated in the heart of Downtown Albany, 10 Dallius St Parking offers a dependable and convenient open-air surface parking facility for daily commuters, event attendees, and visitors. Located just off Broadway and Madison Avenue within the vibrant South End/Downtown transition district, this street-level lot provides wide driving lanes and clearly delineated bays. Because the facility is completely open-air without an overhead deck structure, it features unobstructed vertical clearance, making it exceptionally well-suited for high-profile vehicles, lifted pickup trucks, commercial delivery vans, and full-sized SUVs that cannot navigate standard low-clearance parking garages.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
The lot at 10 Dallius Street enjoys a prime geographical vantage point within walking distance of Albany\'s premier entertainment, governmental, and business venues:
- MVP Arena (formerly Times Union Center): Located less than a 5-minute walk (under 0.3 miles) away, making it an premier parking choice for major arena concerts, Disney on Ice, family shows, and collegiate basketball games.
- Albany Capital Center: A premier convention and conference venue situated roughly 6 minutes on foot, connecting to the Empire State Plaza concourse.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Entering and exiting the 10 Dallius St lot is straightforward, accessible via Dallius Street near Division and Hamilton Streets, with secondary connectivity to Green Street and Hudson Avenue. This location is particularly advantageous for drivers seeking to avoid the severe post-event bottleneck immediately surrounding South Pearl Street and the MVP Arena. Motorists can quickly link to Interstate 787 (I-787) via Madison Avenue or South Ferry Street, offering rapid on-ramps to I-90, the New York State Thruway (I-87), and Route 9 across the Hudson River into Rensselaer. For public transportation users, Capital District Transportation Authority (CDTA) bus lines run frequently along Broadway and Pearl Street, and the Albany Greyhound/Trailways Bus Terminal is within a short walking distance.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Drivers planning to visit during high-profile arena events or weekend concerts should aim to arrive at least 45 minutes prior to ticketed times to secure optimal spaces, as downtown surface lots tend to fill quickly. Keep an eye out for event rate adjustments, which may replace standard hourly meters during arena schedules. For the fastest route out of downtown post-event, plan to route toward Madison Avenue or Broadway directly toward I-787 ramps to bypass arena pedestrian crossings.
