Is there free parking near Times Square?
There are a number of streets that offer free street parking near Hell’s Kitchen Park on 10th Avenue and 48th Street, but you’ll be facing steep competition from other drivers and residents.
Other than that, much of the parking near Times Square is either reserved for commercial vehicles or metered. For this reason we recommend booking a garage.
