Find parking near Prudential Center

Prudential Center is a major indoor arena in downtown Newark, home to the New Jersey Devils and big-name concerts, family shows, and special events that draw thousands of visitors year-round. With seating for around 17,000 fans and a location just a short walk from Newark Penn Station, the area around the arena gets very busy before and after games and shows, especially along Mulberry Street, Lafayette Street, and nearby routes connecting to I‑78 and I‑280. This level of activity makes it important to think ahead about how you will arrive and where you will leave your car so you can spend more time enjoying the event and less time sitting in traffic.

There are many parking options within a few blocks of the arena, but event crowds mean the closest spots often fill quickly and can be slow to exit, while curbside spaces are limited and subject to Newark’s strict meter rules, time limits, and special event enforcement in the entertainment district. Planning and reserving parking near Prudential Center in advance helps you avoid circling busy one-way streets, reduces the chance of tickets from misread signs, and lets you choose between being as close as possible or parking a short walk away for an easier getaway. Because local regulations and availability can change, visitors should always review the latest guidance from official city and venue sources before heading to the arena.
