Parking
Former Chancellor Clark Kerr once remarked, only half in jest, that
the ideal university provided romance for the students, sports for
the alumni, and parking for the faculty.
Unfortunately, when it comes to parking, Berkeley can present a challenge.
Hints & Suggestions
There is always street parking and metered parking near the
College (see map on left), but be sure to read all parking restriction
signs, as the rules and times are strictly enforced by the City of
Berkeley.
In general, parking is cheaper and more plentiful the farther you
drive from campus — even if it's only a block or two away. For
example, while the busiest section of Hearst Avenue have one-hour
metered spots which close during rush hour, driving two blocks farther
up Hearst may offer free two-hour spots.
There are several public parking garages on the south and west
sides of the university; from the College, they are a ten-to-fifteen
minute walk across campus.
Southside,
near Sproul Plaza:
- City of Berkeley Sather
Gate Garage, located on Durant between Dana and Telegraph.
Enter from Channing Way or Durant Ave.
- University of California Student Union Garage, located on Bancroft
just West of Telegraph.
Westside,
near University Hall and downtown:

Although parking can be limited near the Berkeley campus, there
are several public transportation options.

Bay Point/Concord and San Francisco/Daly City.
