The address used for this page is 250 King Street in Mission Bay, near South of Market. Drivers visiting the station area should treat 250 King Street as an urban destination rather than assume a conventional station car park is attached. The historic depot’s role and site are described in historical sources, while current parking options nearby are private spaces and garages. ## Street Parking Near 250 King Street Street parking around the station sits within San Francisco’s dense Mission Bay and South of Market street network. San Francisco street parking rules are sign-led, so the restriction applying to a particular curb depends on the posted information at that space. The search results identify a question about Saturday parking in San Francisco, but do not provide a council or transport rule establishing free Saturday parking for this location. Show map of South of Market ## Parksy Parking Spaces Near Third and Townsend Depot The closest priced Parksy option is a secure private space 149 yd away, costing $75 a week. It suits a commuter who wants a reserved space for repeated visits rather than an hourly stop. Two secure covered spaces at 153 Townsend Garage are 202 yd away and cost $10 an hour each, making them practical for shorter stays. For a full day, two spaces at 424 Brannan St. are 330 yd away and cost $42 a day each. One is described as valet parking, which may suit drivers prioritizing a managed arrival, while the other is a standard parking option. The 153 Townsend Garage spaces fit flexible hourly visits, and the 424 Brannan St. spaces fit longer daytime parking. ## Commuter Planning for the Station Area Commuters have a choice between a weekly private space 149 yd away, hourly covered parking at 153 Townsend Garage 202 yd away, and daily parking at 424 Brannan St. 330 yd away. The weekly option is the most natural fit for regular repeat parking, while the hourly spaces suit changing schedules. The Parksy listings provide a weekly rate of $75 for the private space, an hourly rate of $10 at 153 Townsend Garage, and a daily rate of $42 at 424 Brannan St. The two listings at each garage share the same distance and rate, so the choice between them is based on the described parking style rather than a different listed price. ## Walking and Transit Connections From Mission Bay 4th and King Street station is the nearest station, 267 yd from the location and a 4-minute walk.
