Stop Paying for Parking Before a Movie - Broadway Has You Covered
Free Parking + Movies Near the City? SAY LESS.... (Here's What You Need to Know)
If you've ever circled the streets of Sydney trying to find parking before a movie, you already know the drill. It's stressful, it's expensive, and by the time you've found a spot you're either late or $30 out of pocket before you've even bought popcorn.
Here's what a lot of Sydney locals don't realise — Broadway Shopping Centre has some of the best parking in the inner city, and we're barely 10 minutes from Central Station.
Free Parking After 6pm - Every Single Night
That's right. After 6pm, parking at Broadway is completely free. Whether you're coming in for dinner, a movie, or both — you're not paying a cent to park. In a city where evening parking can cost upwards of $20–40, this is genuinely one of Sydney's most underrated perks.
We're not a secret, but this somehow still is.
Watching a Movie? You Get 4 Hours Free
If you're heading to Hoyts Broadway — which sits right inside the centre — you get 4 hours of free parking validation just for watching a film. That's more than enough time to grab a bite beforehand, catch your movie, and still feel relaxed about the drive home.
No rushing. No stress. No parking meter ticking in the back of your mind.
We're 10 Minutes From Central Station
Broadway sits at the edge of the CBD — close enough to be convenient, far enough to actually have a car park. Whether you're driving in from the Inner West, the South or the Eastern Suburbs, getting here is easy and parking when you arrive is even easier.
And if you're coming by train or bus? Central Station is a short walk away, so Broadway works however you're getting there.
While You're Here
Once you're parked, you've got everything you need in one spot. Grab dinner before your movie, shop, or just enjoy not having to rush back to feed a meter. Broadway has a great mix of restaurants, cafes, dessert shops, arcade and reatilers, so a movie night easily turns into a full evening out.
