Facility Overview
The Bradford Parking facility, located at 22 Edinboro St, is a premier surface parking lot situated in the vibrant heart of Boston\'s historic Chinatown neighborhood. As an open-air surface lot, it offers an accessible and efficient alternative to often congested, low-clearance underground garages found elsewhere in the city. The lot features an open layout, making it exceptionally well-suited for standard passenger cars, large SUVs, and full-size trucks. Since it is an open-air facility, there are no vertical clearance restrictions, providing peace of mind for drivers with roof racks or slightly taller vehicle profiles.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Strategically positioned, this parking lot serves as the perfect launchpad for exploring Boston’s cultural and culinary epicenters. You are within a 5-minute walk of the iconic Chinatown Gate and the endless array of authentic restaurants and bakeries along Beach Street. Furthermore, the lot is an ideal choice for visitors to the Boston Opera House and the historic Wilbur Theatre, both of which are within a 10-minute stroll. Commuters and tourists alike will appreciate the short distance to the Boston Common and the Theater District, making it a highly convenient spot for evening entertainment and weekend sightseeing.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Ingress and egress are straightforward via Edinboro Street, which feeds directly into the dense grid of downtown Boston. Traffic flow is typical for the district, so drivers are encouraged to plan for potential congestion during weekday rush hours. The location boasts exceptional transit connectivity: it is just steps away from the MBTA Orange and Green lines at New England Medical Center and Boylston stations, facilitating seamless access to the rest of the city and beyond. Major highway access via I-93 is easily reachable, streamlining your arrival and departure from the Greater Boston area.

Visitor & Driver Tips
For the best experience, we recommend using a mobile parking app to reserve your spot in advance, especially during high-attendance events or weekend peaks in the Theater District. Prices may be subject to dynamic event-day surge rates. Aim to arrive at least 30 minutes before your scheduled theater or dinner reservation to navigate city traffic stress-free. GPS navigation usually directs drivers accurately to the Edinboro Street entrance, but keep an eye out for local signage as one-way streets in this section of Boston can change quickly.
