About this Location

Facility Overview

The Blue 10 Lot (located at 100 E Lacock Street) is an open-air surface parking facility situated in Pittsburgh’s bustling North Shore district. Positioned directly between Federal Street and Anderson Street, this lot offers an expansive asphalt surface with clear space markings and smooth, wide circulation lanes. Because it is an open-air surface lot without low-hanging ceiling infrastructure or overhead garage beams, Blue 10 features virtually unlimited vertical clearance. This makes it an ideal parking destination not only for standard sedans, crossovers, and electric vehicles, but also for lifted pickup trucks, full-size commercial work vans, SUVs with rooftop cargo carriers, and specialized taller passenger vehicles that cannot safely enter standard parking garages.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Blue 10 boasts an enviable location at the crossroads of North Shore entertainment, sporting venues, and downtown cultural destinations. Drivers will appreciate its walking proximity to top-tier Pittsburgh highlights:

PNC Park: Home of the Pittsburgh Pirates, located just two blocks west (approx. a 4 to 6-minute walk), making Blue 10 one of the most convenient parking locations on game days.
The Andy Warhol Museum: Situated immediately across the street at Sandusky and General Robinson, less than a 2-minute stroll away.
North Shore Entertainment & Dining Hub: Steps from popular eateries and pre-game gathering spots along Federal Street and North Shore Drive, including Mike’s Beer Bar, Southern Tier Brewing Company, and Tequila Cowboy.
Acrisure Stadium & Stage AE: Located approximately 0.8 miles west along the scenic North Shore Riverfront Trail (a pleasant 15-minute walk or a quick trip on the free light rail).
Downtown Pittsburgh Cultural District: Easily accessible across the historic Andy Warhol (7th Street) Bridge or Roberto Clemente (6th Street) Bridge, leading directly to the Benedum Center, Heinz Hall, Byham Theater, and Market Square within a 10 to 12-minute walk.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress and egress are straightforward via East Lacock Street, which connects directly to Sandusky Street and Federal Street. The lot\'s strategic position offers remarkably efficient departure routes following major events, allowing drivers to bypass the heaviest post-game congestion around General Robinson Street. Drivers can seamlessly merge onto PA-28 North, Interstate 279 (Fort Duquesne Bridge / Parkway North), and Interstate 579 via the Veterans Bridge ramps.

Public transit connectivity is exceptional: the North Side Station on Pittsburgh Regional Transit’s light rail (‘The T’) is only a 5-minute walk away. Best of all, travel on the light rail between North Shore stations and Downtown Pittsburgh stations (Gateway, Wood Street, Steel Plaza, and First Avenue) is completely free within the Free Fare Zone, giving parkers effortless, complimentary access to the downtown core.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During Pittsburgh Pirates home games and major stadium concerts, Lacock Street and surrounding North Shore thoroughfares experience heavy vehicle traffic. Visitors are strongly advised to arrive at least 60 to 90 minutes before the scheduled first pitch or kickoff. For sellout games and marquee events, parking spaces fill up rapidly; checking pre-booking options via Alco Parking or ParkMobile can guarantee a stall. When leaving after an event, heading east toward Sandusky Street or Anderson Street frequently provides a quicker escape route to PA-28 and I-279 than heading west toward PNC Park.
