## Metered Parking Around the California State Capitol

The official guidance points drivers to limited metered parking on all sides of the California State Capitol. Parking is directly in front of the building on 10th Street between L and N Streets, placing the closest curb spaces beside the 1315 10th Street entrance (capitolmuseum.ca.gov).

Metered automobile parking is also available around the Capitol Building, while free bus parking is provided on 10th Street and 15th Street between L and N Streets (parks.ca.gov). The official visitor information identifies curbside and bus parking rather than a dedicated public visitor garage, so drivers using a regular automobile should plan around the surrounding metered spaces.

## Parksy Spaces Within 0.2 Miles of the Capitol

A private parking space 132 yards away costs $39 a week, useful for a longer Sacramento stay. A lot with shuttle service is 190 yards away at $3 an hour, giving short visits a lower hourly option.

Two secure covered spaces at Capitol Garage are 280 yards away and cost $15 a day. Valet parking at Esquire Plaza is a covered garage 0.2 miles away for $6 an hour, while another Esquire Plaza garage space at the same distance also costs $6 an hour.

## Street Parking Pressure Around 10th Street and Capitol Mall

Metered spaces sit on all sides of the site, including the frontage on 10th Street between L and N Streets (capitolmuseum.ca.gov). The limited supply makes the blocks around the Capitol especially sensitive to visitor demand, so a reserved space can avoid searching for a curb opening near the entrance.

State rules cover the Capitol grounds within the blocks bounded by 9th and 10th Streets and L and N Streets (law.cornell.edu). Free bus parking is designated on 10th Street and 15th Street between L and N Streets (parks.ca.gov), while regular automobile parking around the building is metered.

## Walking From Sacramento Valley Station

Sacramento Valley Station is the nearest station, 0.7 miles from the California State Capitol and a 14-minute walk. The route brings rail passengers into central Sacramento without requiring a car for the final approach.

The site is 0.3 miles from Sacramento centre, making the Capitol a practical walk from downtown as well as from the station. Drivers who leave a vehicle in a nearby Parksy space can cover the final distance on foot instead of relying on the limited metered spaces around the building.
