Visitor & Driver Tips

Oliver Avenue is a one-way downtown corridor, so pay careful attention to navigation prompts when approaching from Smithfield or Grant Streets. During major weekend events or weeknight Penguins home games, traffic along downtown corridors can thicken considerably; reserving your space in advance via parking apps ensures a reserved stall and locks in predictable pricing. If you are catching a game or event on the North Shore, consider parking here and taking the complimentary PRT light rail from Wood Street Station across the river to avoid post-game stadium gridlock.
