Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Parking Near the Pennsylvania State Capitol on North 3rd Street The Pennsylvania State Capitol is at 501 North 3rd Street in New Fox Ridge, near SoMa. Automobile parking opportunities are available within a two-block radius of the State Capitol, according to the Capitol’s official visitor guidance (pacapitol.com). The site’s visitor information points drivers toward nearby parking opportunities rather than identifying an official visitor car park with a published capacity or operating schedule (pacapitol.com). Street meters are available on Third Street and State Street, according to the Capitol’s frequently asked questions (pacapitol.com). Commonwealth-owned garages, lots and on-street spaces in and around the Capitol Complex are assigned by permit, so general visitors should use public parking or metered spaces instead of relying on those facilities (pa.gov). ## Parksy Parking Spaces Within Reach of the Capitol A Parksy secure 24/7 garage in Harrisburg is 0.4 miles from the site and costs $10.99 an hour. Its continuous access suits drivers arriving outside normal daytime visiting hours, while the garage format avoids searching for a metered space on Third Street or State Street. A Parksy driveway space in Middletown is 7.7 miles away and costs $8 a day. The lower daily rate makes it the priced Parksy option for a full-day stay, although its distance places it outside the Capitol’s immediate two-block parking area. Show map of SoMa ## Named Public Parking Around the State Capitol Complex Public parking garages are available near the State Capitol, and the official Capitol visitor information directs drivers to a public parking garage listing for local options (pacapitol.com). The Capitol’s touring guidance also says parking garages for smaller vehicles are conveniently located near the building (pacapitol.com). Street parking is available around the Capitol, according to Visit Hershey Harrisburg (visithersheyharrisburg.org). The same visitor source says drivers can use the code LUVHBG in the [Parkmobile](https://www.parksy.com/blog/parkmobile-united-states-review-pros-cons-summary-services) app for four hours of [free parking](https://www.parksy.com/parking-near-me) on Saturdays (visithersheyharrisburg.org). ## When Capitol-Area Parking Is Busiest and How the Streets Work Parking around the Capitol is concentrated in a compact center-city area, with automobile parking opportunities within two blocks of the building (pacapitol.com). Third Street and State Street have parking meters (pacapitol.com). Commonwealth-owned garages, lots and on-street spaces in and around the Capitol Complex are permit-assigned (pa.gov). Accessible parking is first come, first served, with Capitol Police available at (717) 787-3199 for more information (pacapitol.com). ## Walking From Harrisburg Transportation Center to the Capitol Harrisburg Transportation Center is the nearest station, 0.4 miles from the Pennsylvania State Capitol and an eight-minute walk.
