Parking at 16th Street Station on Wood Street
The station stands at 1405 Wood Street in Oakland, but the site is a former Southern Pacific Railroad station rather than an operating passenger terminal (Wikipedia). The building’s heritage setting means drivers should treat the address as a destination point, not as a station-operated commuter parking facility.
Oakland Heritage Alliance describes delivery access, parking accommodation, and visual access to the Baggage Wing, main station, and tower as limited by proposed restoration or reuse work (oaklandheritage.org). For drivers heading to the station area, a separately booked space is the practical option because the nearby Parksy inventory provides identified parking away from the historic building.
Parksy Parking Spaces Near the Former Oakland Terminal
The closest listed option is a secure monthly parking lot 0.8 miles away for $120 a month, suited to regular commuters who want a fixed space rather than daily searching. Oakland City Center Garage has two covered daily spaces 1.4 miles away, each priced at $18 a day, making either one useful for occasional visits.
A covered garage space 1.5 miles away costs $3 an hour and fits shorter stays. Two monthly options at the same 1.5-mile distance cost $219 a month: monthly parking at 524 16th St and a secure parking garage with 24/7 access. The hourly space suits brief appointments, while the monthly choices are aimed at drivers leaving a vehicle near the station area for repeated trips.

Daily and hourly parking gives more flexibility when travel days change. Two Oakland City Center Garage spaces are 1.4 miles away at $18 a day, and a covered garage space 1.5 miles away costs $3 an hour. The monthly listings suit drivers who need repeat access, daily parking suits occasional station-area visits, and hourly parking suits a short stop rather than a full workday.
Street Parking Around Wood Street and the Station Site
The station address is 1405 Wood Street, and the historic building is in Oakland’s West Oakland area (Wikipedia). The Oakland Heritage Alliance identifies parking accommodation as part of the access issues surrounding the Baggage Wing, main station, and tower (oaklandheritage.org). Drivers visiting the property should therefore distinguish the historic site from privately operated parking nearby.
The former terminal is described as an abandoned train station in West Oakland, and City Ventures has purchased the property (Action Network). A booked garage or lot gives drivers a defined destination instead of relying on curb space around the historic property.
