Bronx Park / Belmont

Set in the central Bronx, the Bronx Park / Belmont area sits around Bronx Park and the Arthur Avenue corridor, with Belmont known for its classic Little Italy vibe and beloved bakeries and markets. Visitors come for marquee attractions like the Bronx Zoo, the New York Botanical Garden, and nearby Fordham University’s Rose Hill campus, so traffic along Fordham Road, Southern Boulevard, and Webster Avenue can be steady throughout the day. With so much to see in a compact area, parking in Bronx Park / Belmont rewards a plan-first approach.

Curb space is most competitive near Arthur Avenue, East 187th Street, Fordham Road, and the entrances to the zoo and garden, where metered street parking and posted time limits fill quickly. You will also find garages and lots clustered around Arthur Avenue and Fordham, plus official visitor lots serving the zoo and garden, making advance booking the easiest way to save time and reduce stress. Always read local signs carefully and confirm current rules with official sources before you travel, then reserve a spot ahead of your visit for a smoother day.
