Events
The Albany Parking Authority wants to continue to ensure our visitors have the best possible parking experience when visiting downtown Albany and to do so, we operate three 900 space covered parking garages.
The garages are close to the Times Union Center, Palace Theatre, and the Corning Preserve - Jennings Landing.
Refer to the Events Calendar below for information regarding where to park for an event held at the Times Union Center, Palace Theatre and Corning Preserve - Jennings Landing venues. You can find parking for these venues or any other downtown destination on our Find Parking map.
If you have a handicapped permit you can park in the handicapped spaces. Our three garages have elevators and ramps to accommodate people with disabilities. There are also handicapped-only parking meters on-street.
