About this Location

Facility Overview

The Clark Lot is a well-positioned, open-air surface parking facility situated at 507 Martindale Street in Pittsburgh’s bustling North Shore neighborhood. Adjacent to the historic D.L. Clark Building—renowned as the historic birthplace of the Clark Bar—this lot offers a flat, easily navigable layout. Because it is an outdoor lot without overhead beams or low-clearance parking decks, it provides unobstructed vertical clearance. This makes the Clark Lot exceptionally suitable for a wide variety of vehicle profiles, from compact sedans and crossover SUVs to full-size pickup trucks, conversion vans, and commercial passenger vehicles that often struggle with the restricted ceiling heights of traditional multi-story garages.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Plan for Event Rates: Standard weekday and non-event parking rates are cost-effective, but special event flat rates apply during Pirates games, Steelers games, and Stage AE concerts.
Arrive Early on Game Days: High-attendance events can cause North Shore lots to fill up rapidly. Aim to arrive at least 60 to 90 minutes before opening pitch or kickoff to secure your preferred space.
Take Advantage of the Free \'T\': If you are heading across the river to Downtown Pittsburgh or the Cultural District, park here and ride the PRT light rail across for free from North Side Station.
GPS Assistance: Set your navigation system directly to 507 Martindale St, Pittsburgh, PA 15212 to avoid road closures that occasionally affect River Avenue or Federal Street during event days.
