About this Location

Facility Overview

Edison ParkFast at 451 9th Avenue provides a high-convenience, strategically positioned parking destination on the western side of Midtown Manhattan, directly bridging the bustling Hell's Kitchen and Hudson Yards districts. The facility operates as an open-air surface parking lot featuring a combination of ground-level stalls and vertical hydraulic car stackers managed by professional on-site valet personnel. Because vehicles are staged and positioned by trained attendants, the lot maximizes parking efficiency within one of New York City's densest urban corridors.

In terms of vehicle clearance and headroom, the facility is open to the sky, but parking lifts impose clear dimensional boundaries. The maximum operating vertical clearance is 6 feet 10 inches (82 inches). Standard parking rates apply to everyday sedans, station wagons, and compact crossovers. Any vehicle measuring taller than 70 inches (5 feet 10 inches) or wider than 86 inches—such as full-size pickup trucks, large three-row SUVs, and vehicles with aftermarket cargo racks—is classified as oversized and incurs an additional fee. High-roof commercial vans and camper conversions cannot be accommodated.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When driving south on 9th Avenue, move promptly into the right-hand lane after crossing 37th Street so you can turn smoothly into the driveway entrance just past 36th Street. During high-profile events at Madison Square Garden or major Javits conventions, this lot experiences peak demand; pre-booking a spot through SpotHero or ParkWhiz is strongly recommended to guarantee entry and lock in promotional rates.

Upon entry, scan your mobile QR code at the scanner post or present your confirmation to the valet attendant, who will hand you a physical claim check. Be mindful of vehicle height guidelines (70 inches for standard classification) to avoid unanticipated oversize surcharges. When returning, scan your claim ticket at the kiosk next to the valet booth to prompt staff to bring your vehicle forward for departure.
