Facility Overview
Situated in Brooklyn’s vibrant Gowanus and Park Slope border district, Union Parking LLC Garage at 586 Sackett Street offers secure, dependable covered parking in a bustling, high-demand neighborhood. The facility operates as an indoor multi-level garage attended by trained parking staff, ensuring seamless entry and organized vehicle stacking. Due to its enclosed, multi-tier layout, the garage is ideally suited for compact cars, standard sedans, crossovers, and standard mid-size SUVs. Drivers operating full-size pickup trucks, passenger vans, or vehicles equipped with roof racks and cargo carriers should check entry height clearances on approach or call ahead, as typical Brooklyn indoor garages feature standard clearance ceilings that may not accommodate oversize or high-profile commercial vehicles.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Because Sackett Street is a narrow one-way residential and light-industrial corridor, approach slowly when turning off 3rd Avenue to easily spot the garage entry gates. Event evenings at Barclays Center can cause local traffic along 4th Avenue to back up, so arriving 45 to 60 minutes prior to scheduled arena events is highly recommended. If you drive a large crossover or full-size SUV, be prepared for standard New York City garage oversize vehicle surcharges, and consider reserving your space online in advance to lock in predictable parking rates and guaranteed entry.
