Facility Overview
The 21 Lancaster St Parking facility is a highly convenient, uncovered surface parking lot located in the vibrant West End neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. Situated strategically near the North Station and TD Garden hub, this lot provides a straightforward self-park experience. Please note that this is a compact facility with specific designated spaces (Spots #29, #30, #31, #32, and #33). The lot enforces a strict vehicle size limit of 76 inches in width; oversized vehicles are prohibited and subject to towing.

Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a seamless parking experience, we highly recommend booking your spot in advance via mobile platforms such as SpotHero. Since this facility is limited to specific numbered spots (#29–#33), always verify your spot number upon arrival to avoid being towed. Because this area is subject to significant traffic during games and concerts, plan to arrive at least 45–60 minutes prior to event start times. Double-check your license plate registration on your digital pass, as this facility uses automated license plate recognition for entry verification.
