Visitors with an authorized vehicle arrangement have a separate access point at 85th Street and Central Park West. The theater information lists three reserved spaces and says parking permits are obtained from HAI at (212) 575-7663 (tdf.org). Those spaces are reserved rather than general event parking, so regular attendees should plan to leave the car outside the park and walk in.
