The multi-level car park sits adjacent to the Aotea Centre and provides access to Auckland Town Hall and the Aotea Centre (aucklandphil.nz). [Auckland Transport](https://www.parksy.com/blog/appeal-auckland-parking-fine) lists Civic Car Park at $3 for 1 hour, $6 for 2 hours, $9 for 3 hours, $12 for 4 hours and $13 for 5 or more hours (at.govt.nz). The facility is a practical choice for performances, Town Hall visits and Queen Street trips because the entrance is on the Mayoral Drive side of the site. ## Parksy Spaces Around the Civic Quarter Parksy lists a priced Secure Parking space at 221 Federal Street, 30 m away, at $14 a day. A priced Secure 31 Cook Street space is also 30 m away, costing $5 an hour. These options suit drivers who prefer to reserve a space close to the Civic Quarter rather than use the underground facility. A priced outdoor space in Auckland CBD is 130 m away at $7 an hour, while a Secure Outdoor Parking space in the Civic Quarter is 140 m away at $4 an hour. A priced covered parking lot in Auckland is 190 m away and costs $5 an hour. The short distances make these spaces useful for Queen Street, the Town Hall and events around the square, although the best choice depends on whether a daily or hourly rate fits the visit. Show map of Auckland City Centre ## Event Pressure and Street Parking Around Aotea The Civic Car Park is close to the Civic Theatre, Queen Street shopping, Auckland Town Hall, Aotea Centre and iMAX (at.govt.nz). Those destinations draw overlapping theatre, shopping and event traffic, so demand is strongest when several city venues are active at once. Weekend and public-holiday parking at Civic Car Park is $3 an hour, capped at $13, while a weeknight visit has a flat fee of $3 from 6 pm (heartofthecity.co.nz). These offers can make the official facility more suitable than searching for a kerbside space during evening performances. The city's nearby Civic Quarter also has Parkable parking listed for the area (glassceilingartscollective.com). Drivers heading to an event should use a named facility rather than rely on finding an unrestricted kerbside space. ## Other Named Parking Near the Square Downtown Car Park offers casual parking, monthly leases and special deals for weekend ferry travellers (downtowncarpark.co.nz). Auckland Transport describes Civic Car Park as undercover and secure, and places it close to the city centre (at.govt.nz). Its location also serves Queen Street shopping, the Town Hall, Aotea Centre and iMAX, making it the most directly relevant official facility for a visit to the square. The named facilities near Aotea are concentrated in the central city rather than on the square itself. For a performance or Town Hall appointment, the underground Civic facility keeps the final walk short and avoids depending on street availability.
