Parking Near Ice Rinks

There’s no doubt that parking in New York comes with its own set of challenges. But it’s not impossible. These tips can help you navigate New York parking, whether you’re looking to park near ice rinks to do some skating or just explore the city for a day.

Parking Tips

Pay Attention

In the Big Apple, it’s estimated that New York drivers spend more than 100 hours a year looking for parking spots. Between construction zones and one-way streets, dealing with traffic is tough, especially when you’re trying to find a spot. One of the best things you can do is download an app on your phone so you can learn about traffic patterns ahead of time.

Know Where You’re Going

If you’re in the city for the day and have your heart set on ice skating, you need to know where you’re going. Not only do you need to know where the rink is, but you need to know where the parking is. Odds are there are city parking garages near where you want to go, but you need to know where those are in relation to your final destination. City parking garages often have multiple addresses, so pay attention when you park. There are apps you can download that will help you remember where you parked.

Take All You Need

If you leave your car in one of the city parking garages, many of them are valet garages. That means you can’t just leave and come back during the time your car is parked. That also means you can’t come back to grab anything you forgot. So once you’ve parked, grab everything you’re going to need for the day before you hand your keys off.

Have Money Ready

If you’ve found the perfect spot near the ice rink you’re visiting in New York, be prepared to pay any and all fees. Fees at city parking garages can vary by location, but generally speaking, you pay as much as $20 or more depending on the size of your vehicle. You need to be ready to tip too, both during dropoff and pickup.

With a little patience and a lot of know-how, parking in New York City can be a cinch. With the right tips, you can park your car and focus more of your time on having fun in the big city.
