Directions to (and parking tips for) Minute Maid Park

Minute Maid Park is located in the northeast corner of downtown Houston, just off US 59. The ballpark is bounded by Crawford Street, Texas Avenue, Hamilton Street, and Congress Street.

How not to get towed while at Minute Maid Park

While parking at the stadium is limited to season ticket holders, there is ample street parking, parking, and parking within a half mile or closer. Here are some guidelines to make finding parking easier:

  1. Read all signs before parking. Look for signs and banners with the “P” for baseball that designates public parking.
  2. Bring nickels, dimes, and parking meter quarters. Many surface lots are unattended and require payment in advance. Have some dollar bills handy.
  3. Some downtown restaurants and hotels offer shuttle service. Ask about parking when you call to reserve lunches or dinners.
  4. The best way to explore the center is on foot. You may discover a great new store or restaurant! Be respectful of neighborhoods and residential areas.
