Official Parking at Durham Bulls Athletic Park
Public parking for games at Durham Bulls Athletic Park is available in the North and South Parking Decks for $12 per car, according to the Durham Bulls (milb.com). The decks do not accept cash, so drivers need a non-cash payment method for entry.
Ticketmaster lists South or East deck parking for 2026 Durham Bulls first-half games (am.ticketmaster.com). Deck opening times are 4:30 PM for Monday-Friday games, 3:30 PM for Saturday games, and 11:00 AM for Sunday games. Additional handicap parking is available in the South Parking Deck, according to the Durham Bulls ballpark guide (milb.com).
Event-Day Restrictions Around Blackwell Street
The venue sits at 409 Blackwell Street, 0.3 mi from Durham centre. Game traffic concentrates around the downtown decks and the streets leading to the ballpark, making the approach more demanding around first pitch than on a normal downtown visit.
Metered parking spots are free after 7 p.m., according to Discover Durham (discoverdurham.com). That timing can help drivers arriving for an evening game, although spaces close to the stadium remain limited when crowds are arriving.
Parksy Spaces Within Walking Distance of DBAP
Parksy lists a lot at 102 W Morgan St, 0.5 mi from DBAP, priced at $95 a month. The walk is practical for a game or show, with the venue only 0.5 mi from the space.
A 24/7 downtown outdoor parking space is also listed 0.5 mi away for $3 an hour. That hourly option suits a single event more directly than a monthly space, while the 0.5 mi walk leaves drivers outside the busiest deck entrances after the crowd has dispersed.
For longer-term parking, Parksy lists outdoor lot spaces 2.7 mi away at $65 a month, including a monthly lot at 2517 Guess Rd. Outdoor spaces at 1920 Ivy Creek Blvd are 3.8 mi away and $65 a month, placing them farther from the stadium than the downtown choices.
