While there are several different parking options depending on your destination, visitors are encouraged to park at Central Grounds Garage, which is advantageously located on Emmet Street beside Memorial Gymnasium and under the University Bookstore. The garage provides access to popularly visited sites on university grounds and offers other convenient amenities such as EV Charging stations. Parking on Grounds can be limited during the academic semester, and special traffic patterns and restrictions are enforced during University events. Students, faculty, staff, and visitors can now pay for parking at most locations on Grounds with their smartphones using the ParkMobile app—parkmobile.io or call 877-727-5758 (toll-free). Parking meters for visitors accepting ParkMobile payments are available at the Aquatic and Fitness Center (AFC), the North Grounds Recreation Center, Observatory Hill Dining Facility, and Slaughter Recreation Center. Temporary Blue Parking Permits for visitors and guests staying for multiple days or longer may be purchased from the UVA Parking and Transportation Office – 1101 Millmont St; (434) 924-7231.
