Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of Downtown Hartford, 64-114 Asylum St Parking offers an exceptionally convenient and accessible parking option for daily commuters, business professionals, and eventgoers alike. Configured as an open-air surface parking facility, this lot provides generous drive aisles and straightforward stall layouts that simplify maneuvering and parking. Unlike many multi-story downtown parking structures that enforce restrictive low clearances, this open-sky surface lot features unrestricted vertical headroom. This makes it an outstanding choice for full-size pickup trucks (such as Ford F-150s and Ram 1500s), full-size SUVs, conversion vans, and commercial vehicles equipped with roof racks or ladders that cannot safely enter standard parking garages.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Because of its proximity to the XL Center, parking demand peaks dramatically during college basketball matchups, minor league hockey games, and weekend concerts; arriving 45 to 60 minutes before scheduled start times ensures smooth parking. Keep your license plate number handy when paying at the kiosk or on mobile apps, as vehicle enforcement is handled electronically. When departing after major arena events, heading west toward Union Station and Broad Street often offers an easier bypass of traffic merging directly onto I-84 eastbound ramps.
