Parking in UC Berkeley lots is available by permit only. Public parking in UC Berkeley garages is not available during business hours. They do ticket ..... After you pick up your permit at either the East or West kiosk (depending on what you requested), you may try one of the following parking lots.

Lot #

Details

#1

Lower Hearst (indoor parking structure) - west of Euclid, entrance off of Hearst going west; may have "stacked" parking available. In this situation, you park in the aisles and leave your keys with the valet. Check with the attendant when you arrive. Generally, we try to use it even if the sign says it is full. At 10:00 a.m. exactly, the unused carpool spaces open up for general parking and that usually provides 3 or so spaces. But your timing must be good. Height clearance for 1st floor level is 6' 10"; clearance for 2nd and 3rd floor levels is 6' 9".

#2

Upper Hearst (indoor parking structure) - east of Euclid. Entrances off Hearst going west, Ridge Road, and La Loma Avenue. Has stacked valet parking. May be a better bet than Lower Hearst.

#3

Haviland Lot (outdoor lot). This is quite close to McCone and your permit allows you to park here. It is off of the main campus drive and is accessible from the campus east entrance (not from the west as it is blocked by a barricade). We don't have a good sense of when it fills up.

#4

Foothill Lot (outdoor lot; a.k.a. Outer Siberia). This lot is a hike but generally always has spaces. Located off of Hearst east of the Foothill Housing complex (proceed east past the intersection of Hearst and Gayley and turn off right just past the complex).

#5

Plant Genetics (indoor parking structure; a.k.a. the West Siberia lot). Clearance for entrance is 7' 0". This is also a hike but involves less topography than Foothill. The entrance is off of Oxford, at the extension of Berkeley Way into the campus (it is an underground lot). Your permit allows you to park on any level (you are more likely to find spaces on the 1st floor than on the upper floors in our experience).

#6

Outdoor lot behind the Upper Hearst Parking Structure. I don't know anything about this lot, except that it is there. The entrance is either off of La Loma Avenue or Ridge Road, or both. This is not shown on the map above.
