Parking
Parking can sometimes be a challenge in the heart of any lively community, no matter how large or small. Just think about how many blocks you have to walk when you see a Broadway show in Manhattan. South Orange is fortunate to have over 400 parking spots available within two blocks of SOPAC. All lots are free after 6PM on weekdays and all day Saturday and Sunday.
We recognize that parking is more difficult on Friday and Saturday nights and offer the following suggestions:
The best parking options are:
- South Orange Middle School Parking Lot
- The 250-car commuter lot on Third Street behind the South Orange Rescue Squad
- The 265-car New Jersey Commuter lot adjacent to SOPAC
- South Orange Public Library Lot
On Friday and Saturday nights we recommend that you proceed directly to these lots, less than a five-minute walk from SOPAC:
- South Orange Middle School Parking Lot
- The 250-car commuter lot on Third Street behind the South Orange Rescue Squad
Small lots on South Orange Avenue, First Street and Sloan Street are usually filled early by local restaurant patrons and are not recommended for SOPAC parking.
