Central Parking Systems

Very central parking garage! Also very cheap for downtown and you can park your own car! Highly recommend to drive yourself into Manhattan and park instead of taking cab rides. Cabs are very expensive for a good weekends worth of sight seeing.

We’ve been parking our car here for more than 2 years, this place is not very well maintained but it’s one of the very few places in the city that allows you to self-​park.
We generally have no complains about this place, but tonight… not only I was verbally abused by one of LAX Parking’s staff members, I also felt my security was in danger during the incident. This garage is poorly managed, avoid this place at all cost.

This place is terrible. I called in advance to make sure they allowed motorcycle parking (they did). But when I showed up there was a big, «NO MOTORCYCLES ALLOWED» sign. I parked illegally and went inside. One guy was proclaiming, «I just need to get into Level 1 – it’s been a half hour – I pay $ 500 a month to park here, for god’s sakes, I just want my parking space!» I spoke with 3 people who worked there. Two couldn’t tell me and the final one (who I had to wait for) said, «sure, but it’s monthly.» WTF – ya think maybe you could have mentioned that over the phone before I fought commute traffic in the rain to get here? Lame.
I asked very nicely if an exception could be made, if I could just pay for a car space, etc. etc. etc., but nope. $ 50 for a slice of unused pavement off to the side (or in the 1 month section) was an IMPOSSIBILITY. You’d think the DMV ran this place.

Parking.
I have the need, but not quite the desire, to be in the Battery Park area on a weekly basis for the foreseeable future and as such, need a place that gives my car a place to hide while I’m out doing what I am doing.
This parking garage is the most convenient location to where I need to be and is conveniently located basically over the Battery Tunnel entrance /​exit — there is an entrance on Greenwich street and one on Morris. I tend to use the Morris street entrance as it gives me easy access to the footbridge over said tunnel entrance /​exit as I need to walk myself over to Broadway.
The downside, as you might imagine, is that parking is not that cheap, particularly in this part of town. The upside is it beats the hell out of getting ticketed /​towed which can really put a crimp in your day and your wallet.
The lot itself is decently lit, fairly clean and with slow but functional elevators. The thing you need to watch is that the Morris street entrance closes at 9pm on the dot — so if you are not there you have to hoof it over to the Greenwich street entrance which also means you are going to run across the tunnel entrance… nice for a quick cardio workout.
Worth hitting if you are in this area.

This Central Parking sustems location actually has an old sign that says «Battery Parking Garage». Its expensive (like any parking in the Fi Di) but there are always spaces and easy to use automatic pay machines. The lots are well lit, and parking spaces are roomy. I drive a pickup, and was easily able to find room. You won’t have to worry about sketchy parking attendants overcharging you on the fly, and its really convenient to the area, 3 minute walk to the Bull and Stock Exchange.
