When City Centre Parking Is Under Pressure
The large SkyCity Main Site facility is intended to handle substantial demand, with 1,960 parks and motorway access through three entries (carepark.co.nz). Those access points can be useful when Victoria Street and the surrounding City Centre approaches are busy, particularly for visitors arriving for SkyCity activities as well as the tower.
