The Essex County Sportsplex garage is located directly adjacent to the Newark Bears Riverfront Stadium and provides 375 parking spaces. Since the opening of the ballpark in 1998, adjacent parking has always been at a premium for this dense urban site.
This 5-level, 140,000 sf elevator serviced structure is handicapped and van accessible and includes a security office, electric room, and storage rooms. The facade panels of the garage are inset with full size red field brick, tan brick bands and gray accent tiles to match the adjacent ballpark. The top level of the ballpark is adorned with flags representing each team in the Atlantic League. Brushed aluminum backlit signage reading “410 Feet” is mounted to the facade facing the ballpark as a goal for the team’s batters.
