Both roads provide 24-hour meter parking, making them the most direct choice for drivers heading to the gardens from Sydney near Potts Point (botanicgardens.org.au). The 12P limit allows a long daytime visit, but spaces beside the gardens are still likely to be the first to fill when the foreshore and city are busy. Parking Scheme permit holders may park free in any available bay on Mrs Macquaries Road and Hospital Road (botanicgardens.org.au). ## Wilson Parking Options Around Macquarie Street and Phillip Street [Wilson Parking](https://www.parksy.com/blog/wilson-parking-review-pros-cons-summary-services) lists the Royal Botanical Gardens Car Park at 131 Macquarie Street, 0.33 km from the site, with parking from $35 (wilsonparking.com.au). The operator also lists a car park at 43 Phillip Street with parking from $20, plus another at 187... (wilsonparking.com.au). These named facilities provide alternatives when the kerbside bays on the garden approaches are occupied. Drivers making a longer visit can compare the distance and operating details at the entrance before committing to a facility. The gardens themselves are free to visit (botanicgardens.org.au), while a separate parking permit scheme charges $90 per bay for each 24-hour period and requires a minimum booking of 3 parking bays (botanicgardens.org.au). Show map of Potts Point ## Busy Days and Parking Controls Around the Sydney Gardens Parking pressure is strongest when visitors combine the gardens with city, harbour and foreshore activities. The metered areas on Mrs Macquaries Road and Hospital Road run from 8am to 8pm Monday to Sunday, and each standard stay is subject to a 12P limit (botanicgardens.org.au). Commercial buses have separate parking arrangements. Commercial buses currently pay $9 an hour at parking meters, while the published permit choices include a $75 daily permit including GST, a $1,500 seasonal permit plus GST and a $4,500 annual permit plus GST (botanicgardens.org.au). Parking Scheme permit holders can use any available bay free of charge on Mrs Macquaries Road and Hospital Road (botanicgardens.org.au). ## Parksy Spaces Within 610 Metres of Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney Parksy lists six spaces close to the gardens, covering covered private parking, secure car parks, a driveway-style space and a private Woolloomooloo space.
