The Sacramento Kings of the NBA play their home games at Golden 1 Center. If you are attending an upcoming event at this venue, use the parking guide below to plan your outing.
This detailed Golden 1 Center parking tips guide offers detailed parking information, including:
- The best official Golden 1 Center parking lots
- Third-party parking lots near Golden 1 Center you can book in advance
- Areas to look for free parking in Sacramento
- Handicap parking solutions
- Public transit options for Sacramento Kings events
- Other valuable Golden 1 Center parking tips to save time and money
Knowing where you will park will make the whole experience more enjoyable. This guide should be a valuable resource in the process.
Official Golden 1 Center Parking Lots
At Golden 1 Center, you won’t find the type of official, attached parking garage you will see at other arenas around the country. With that said, there is ample parking in the immediate area, and much of it is available through the city parking website, SacPark.
Main Parking Lots
As mentioned above, there isn’t a “main” parking lot or garage at Golden 1 Center. However, you can head to the Reserve Sacramento Parking – SacPark to pick from a range of options in this part of the city.
Once on that site, you can look at the upcoming events at Golden 1 Center and pick the date you’ll attend. Then, you will see all available garages and can pick your favorite based on location and price.
EV Parking at Golden 1 Center
There are some EV chargers scattered around this part of Sacramento, so it’s not out of the question to be able to charge your car while in the area for an event. However, remember that the city will be crowded when an event is scheduled, so chargers may be taken or hard to reach.
Rather than battling the crowds for a charger, plan on filling up your battery in advance so you can use any regular parking spot and enjoy the evening.
Accessible Parking Spaces
Parking accessibility is going to depend on the specific garage you select. If you have someone in your party that needs to be dropped off closer to the venue before you head to a parking garage, that can be done at the end of 4th Street within the DOCO Mall.
Did You Know?
Most of the parking garages around the Golden 1 Center are owned by the city of Sacramento, which helps to keep the costs consistent and lower.
Third-Party Parking Options at Golden 1 Center
Plenty of excellent third-party parking options within a short walk of Golden 1 Center exist. You can use our SpotHero widget below to reserve a parking space at any of these locations so you are all set for your outing.
As you sort through the options, consider the garage at 728 J Street as one of the best bets. The pricing is sometimes under $20, yet it’s only a short walk across the streets to the gates.
You can get even closer by booking parking in the 555 Capitol Mall garage, but you’ll spend about $10 more in most cases.
Free Parking at Golden 1 Center
It’s going to be difficult, and perhaps impossible, to find free parking for events at Golden 1 Center. Like all locations in the heart of a large city, parking spaces are hard to come by and almost always come with a price tag.
Unless you can find a spot well away from the arena with free street parking, you will want to plan on paying for your parking or using another type of transportation.
Public Transportation to Golden 1 Center
SacRT Light Rail
SacRT Light Rail is the main public transportation system serving the Sacramento area, and it provides an efficient way to reach the Golden 1 Center. There are two lines that serve the Golden 1 Center area – the Gold Line and the Blue Line.
Both these lines have stops at the 7th & Capitol Station and the 8th & K Station, which are only a short walk away from the arena. If you’re coming from the suburbs or just want to avoid downtown traffic, you can park your car at one of the many free Park-and-Ride lots located along these lines and take the Light Rail for the rest of the way.
SacRT Light Rail operates seven days a week, with more frequent service during peak hours. Fares are reasonable, and discounted tickets are available for seniors, students, and people with disabilities.
Game Day Express Service
For Sacramento Kings games, SacRT operates the Game Day Express Service. This bus service starts from the Galleria at Roseville and travels directly to the Golden 1 Center, providing a convenient and stress-free way for fans in Roseville to reach the arena.
The round trip fare for this service is just $9, with a discount available for Roseville residents. It’s recommended to purchase tickets in advance through the SacRT mobile app, as it can speed up boarding.
SacRT Buses
In addition to the Light Rail, SacRT also operates a network of bus routes that serve the Golden 1 Center. Bus lines 11, 15, and 30 are some of the many lines that have stops near the arena. As with the Light Rail, it’s advisable to check the schedule and plan your trip in advance.
Sacramento is known for its bike-friendly streets, and biking can be a great option to reach the Golden 1 Center, especially if you’re located nearby. There are ample bike racks available near the arena for secure parking.
Ridesharing to Golden 1 Center
Another great way to get to Golden 1 Center is to use a rideshare service to avoid driving altogether. A few spots around the arena have been designated for rideshare pick-ups and drop-offs, including:
- the corner of 4th and J Streets
- the corner of 5th and J Street
- 4th Street between L Street and Capitol Mall
