Facility Overview
The NYU B4 Sunset Park Lot, professionally managed by Propark Mobility, is a well-maintained, open-air surface parking facility situated at 5718 2nd Avenue in the historic Sunset Park neighborhood of Brooklyn. Primarily serving patients, medical staff, and visitors to the nearby NYU Langone Hospital – Brooklyn campus, as well as local industrial and commercial visitors, this lot delivers a reliable and stress-free parking solution in an area known for competitive on-street parking.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Street parking in Sunset Park is notoriously congested due to dense residential blocks and active industrial traffic; choosing this dedicated off-street lot guarantees your space and saves considerable circling time. If visiting during peak hospital shift changes or weekday business hours (7:30 AM – 9:30 AM and 3:30 PM – 5:30 PM), give yourself an extra 10 to 15 minutes to navigate local traffic along 2nd and 3rd Avenues. When using GPS navigation, enter \'5718 2nd Ave, Brooklyn\' to arrive directly at the entrance gate between 57th and 58th Streets.
