Facility Overview
Situated in the heart of West Chelsea, Edison ParkFast at 161 10th Avenue offers convenient and secure open-air parking directly adjacent to Manhattan\'s vibrant art and cultural corridor. Running alongside the historic High Line, this well-maintained valet-operated surface lot offers an accessible alternative to tight underground garages. While primarily accommodating standard passenger sedans, compact crossovers, and mid-size SUVs, the lot does enforce strict dimension policies: vehicles over 6 feet 3 inches (6\'3\") in height cannot be accommodated, and vehicles measuring longer than 180 inches or taller than 70 inches are subject to standard NYC oversized vehicle fees. Professional valet attendants oversee all vehicle positioning, maximizing efficiency and streamlining arrivals and departures.

The facility is exceptionally positioned for exploring the best cultural, culinary, and waterfront venues in West Chelsea and the Meatpacking District:

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Edison ParkFast is located on the west (left-hand) side of 10th Avenue between West 20th Street and West 21st Street. Because 10th Avenue operates as a one-way northbound multi-lane thoroughfare, drivers should approach from the south and position themselves in the left lane well before passing 20th Street to make a smooth entry into the valet staging area. Exiting vehicles merge directly back onto northbound 10th Avenue or can quickly loop west onto West 21st Street to reach the West Side Highway (NY-9A) in under two minutes. For public transportation, the M11 bus stops directly along 10th and 9th Avenues, while cross-town service is provided by the M23-SBS along 23rd Street. The closest MTA subway stations include the 23rd Street Station (C and E trains at 8th Avenue) and the 14th Street/8th Avenue transit hub (A, C, E, and L lines), each within an easy 8 to 12-minute stroll.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Due to high visitor volumes on weekends and evenings, reserving a parking space ahead of time via SpotHero or ParkWhiz is strongly recommended to guarantee entry and lock in lower advance rates. Keep in mind that NYC parking tax and mandatory oversize vehicle charges apply to larger SUVs, pickup trucks, and minivans. When entering the lot, pull up to the attendant booth, keep your booking confirmation barcode ready on your mobile screen, and retrieve your valet claim ticket before heading off into the city.
