Campus Parking at 466 Townsend Street
Academy of Art University is in Mission Bay, near Potrero Hill, at 466 Townsend Street. The university directs drivers to ParkinSF for a comprehensive list of San Francisco parking lots and garages rather than publishing a campus permit or visitor-car-park arrangement on its arrival guidance (academyart.edu). The official campus facilities page also places parking garages among the surrounding services and says shuttles are free for students and staff members (academyart.edu).
For a visitor arriving by car, the practical choice is therefore an independently operated San Francisco garage or lot rather than an identified university car park. ParkinSF is the official parking reference named by the university for garage and lot locations (academyart.edu), while the campus policy specifically prohibits falsely using spaces designated for people who are disabled (academyart.edu).
Other San Francisco Parking Options Near 466 Townsend Street
The university's arrival guidance directs visitors to ParkinSF, which provides a comprehensive list of San Francisco parking lots and garages (academyart.edu). This is the relevant official route for finding a public facility beyond the campus itself, particularly for drivers who want a garage rather than a street space.
There are no sourced shopping-center or council-car-park rates, capacities, entry streets, opening hours, or free-period rules to add here. The surrounding facilities information does identify grocery stores and parking garages as nearby services (academyart.edu), but it does not provide a named shopping-center car park or a council facility with a stated free period. The university also provides a free shuttle for all students and staff members (academyart.edu), giving those groups an alternative to parking beside the campus.
