Niagara Parks Commission lots vs Niagara Falls State Park garage: Official lots are the safest bet on both sides

On the Canadian side, Niagara Parks Commission lots near Clifton Hill or Falls Avenue — like Murray Street and Rapidsview — are the most reliable. On the American side, the Niagara Falls State Park parking garage on Prospect Street is your best bet. Stick with official lots to avoid sketchy private operators.
