Millions of Pirates fans have visited PNC Park since it opened in April 2001. Throughout these early years of operation, the city of Pittsburgh -- and especially the North Shore -- has continued to change and grow. While the ongoing development of our region is exciting, it also presents fans with some challenges in getting to and from the ballpark due to construction.

This page will provide you with simple directional and parking information that will make your trips to and from PNC Park as easy and stress-free as possible.

WHERE DO I PARK?

If you're coming from the NORTH, you should park in the NORTH!
Your best parking choice is to use one of the North Shore surface lots or garages around PNC Park. By staying on the North Shore, you'll have the easiest access, to and from the ballpark, to I-279 North, Route 65 or Route 28. If you are coming from the north, your parking choices on the North Shore include lots 7A, 7B, 7C or 7D, the surface River Road lots, Allegheny Center garage and North Shore Garage.

If you're coming from the EAST, SOUTH or WEST - parking downtown will be best for you.
You can then get to the ballpark by walking over the Clemente Bridge. With many parking options downtown costing only $5.00 on game days, it's an easy and cost effective way to get to the ballpark!

After the game, if you are going SOUTH or WEST, you'll have easy access to the Ft. Pitt Bridge via Stanwix ramp or Liberty Avenue ramp or to the Liberty Bridge / Tunnel via 6th Avenue. If you're headed EAST, you'll have easy access to I-376 (Parkway East) via the Seventh Avenue ramp or Stanwix, Wood and Grant Street ramps.
