The University of Wisconsin-Parkside offers parking close to major academic, athletic, and community buildings, a unique feature not found on many urban campuses.
There are inexpensive options for our visitors as well as convenient permits available for commuter and resident students, faculty, and staff. Parking is free for most special events such as the Noon Concert Series, Foreign Films, Science Night, and, of course, for all NCAA Division II athletics. Convenient drop-off areas are located close to main entrances at the Student Center, the Rita Tallent Picken Regional Center for Arts and Humanities, and the Sports & Activity Center.
Most lots have visitor-signed spaces as well as accessible parking. Use credit card kiosks in the Student Center lot (one on each end) or in the Rita lot (near handicap parking) to purchase visitor time by the hour or for the day. Daily visitor passes are also available at the UW-Parkside Police office in Tallent Hall, east of the roundabout on Wood Road.
Student, faculty, and staff permits are available at the UW-Parkside Police office in Tallent Hall. Complete parking regulations are available online. Please call the UW-Parkside Police and Public Safety office at 262-595-2455 with any questions.
